What is the ruling on living with someone who sleeps through the prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am living with a man. I am living with a man who, if he is asleep, does not pray, and the prayer time ends while he is still asleep. Before I go to the mosque, I inform him of the prayer time, but he does not get up. However, if he is awake, he prays. What is the ruling? And what is the ruling on living with him?

Answer:
If your living with him helps him to wake up and pray, that is good; you will be rewarded for this, so be patient. But if your living with him has no effect on him and does not change his habit, do not live with him. Allah has made the earth spacious; live in another place. Yes, do not keep the company of a person who is lazy about prayer, lest it affect you. It may affect you or your children.
