Question:
He says, may Allah preserve you: My father sometimes sleeps through the prayer. Is it permissible for me to seek forgiveness for him and make du'a' for him?
Answer:
If he is doing it intentionally, if he is intentionally sleeping through the prayer until it passes its time, then he is exposing himself to danger in his religion; he may even fall out of the religion. This is a great danger. So do not let him sleep. Wake him up, wake him up, and take care of him.
