What is the father's obligation if he has a son who combines the prayers in one time due to sleep?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a similar question. He says: I have a son who combines the three prayers in one time, and I have been unable to wake him from sleep or advise him. What should I do?

Answer:
You must strive to compel him to pray, for what he is doing is not permissible and his prayers are not valid. His prayers are not valid. Every prayer is in its own time.
Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a decree of specified times.إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ كَانَتْ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كِتَابًا مَّوْقُوتًا
[An-Nisa 4:103]
. So the prayer is in its time. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Pray the prayer at its time. So you must be patient with him and compel him to pray, even by beating him, as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
And beat them for it when they are tenواضربوهم عليها لعشر
As long as he is in your house, he is under your authority, and you are responsible for him; he is among your dependents. Be patient with him. Yes.
