The sin of a father who wakes his children to pray at home

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a questioner, may Allah reward you. This questioner says: If a man hears the adhan at home and wakes his children for prayer, but they pray at home, does the father commit a sin?

Answer:
Yes, the father commits a sin, because they are required to pray in the mosque, and they do not pray at home unless they are sick or unable to attend. This is based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
Whoever hears the call to prayer and does not respond, he has no prayer, except one who has an excuseمن سمع النداء فلم يجب فلا صلاة له إلا من عذر
Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:352
The narrator was asked, “What is the excuse?” He said, “Fear or illness.” It is not permissible. It is not permissible for men to pray in their homes while they hear the call in the nearby mosques. They must respond and go. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
