How to deal with relatives who do not pray?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I have a father who does not pray, and likewise my brothers, and advising them has not been of any benefit. What should my position be toward them?

Answer:
If they do not accept the advice and persist in abandoning the prayer, boycott them and stay away from them. Boycott them. Ibrahim (peace be upon him) said:
And I will leave you and those you invoke other than Allahوَأَعْتَزِلُكُمْ وَمَا تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ
[Maryam 19:48]
Abandoning the prayer is disbelief. Disbelief. So boycott them if they do not accept the advice and persist in abandoning the prayer. These are disbelievers. Boycott them. Yes.
