Advising relatives who neglect the prayer

Question:
May Allah reward you with good. You also say that these relatives abandon the prayer, and that we have advised them and informed them of the severity of that, and that the one who abandons the prayer is a disbeliever, but they did not respond to us. When you look at their faces, you see darkness and blackness, may Allah protect us from that. We maintain ties with them, eat with them, and greet them, but I have read verses from the Book of Allah that forbid believers from having affection and love for disbelievers, and that they are impure. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) says . Also, disbelievers do not greet them, nor do they eat with them. You continue in this manner, Shaykh Salih, to seek your advice. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The matter is as you mentioned: if they do not pray and abandon the prayer intentionally, then they are disbelievers, because there is no share in Islam for the one who abandons the prayer. Consequently, it is not permissible to have affection or love for them. As for visiting them, if there is benefit in it for advising them and influencing them, then you visit them. But if visiting them has no effect on them, and advising them is of no avail, then it is obligatory to boycott them and cut ties with them until they repent to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
