Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I have sons whom I order to pray, but they delay, and sometimes they pray at home. He asks: Am I excused for that?
Answer:
No, be patient with them and do not leave unless they are with you. Be patient with them for two or three days, or a month. They are learning and getting used to this. As for if you are lenient with them and they see leniency and neglect from you, they will increase in negligence. Be sad, my brother. Be sad with them, even if it is hard at first.
