The Father's Responsibility for His Sons Who Are Lazy About the Fajr Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: My children are lazy, or rather, they are lazy in the Fajr prayer. I always try to wake them up, but when I return from the mosque, I find that they have not prayed. Am I sinful for that? And what is your advice to me and to them?
Answer:
Allah the Exalted said:[Taha 20:132] And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan ad-Daraqutni 3:5 So command them and be patient with them. If they are reluctant and have reached the age of ten, you strike them until they learn proper conduct and maintain the prayer. Do not go out to the mosque unless they are with you. Do not go out to the mosque and leave them. Do not go out unless they are with you. Be patient with them the first day and the second day, then they will get used to it, and it will become easy for them to go with you to the prayer. Yes.
