Question:
The second question. The second question: Attendance at the Fajr prayer has become lacking, especially since parents do not remind their children to attend. We would like some advice from you, Shaykh?
Answer:
Yes, we advise them, and you advise them. If you know that someone neglects his children and is lax with them, advise him and tell him: It is not permissible for you to leave them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:. So you are a guardian over them, and you are their educator. Do not be lax with them at all, and be patient with that. You will have a reward for this. Yes.
