Question:
This is Sa'id, may Allah protect you. He says: Is it permissible to live with my father, who does not pray, knowing that we have advised him, but he does not respond to us?
Answer:
Report him to the Commission for Promoting Virtue and Prohibiting Vice. Report him to the judge in the town. Report him to any of his relatives who can take hold of him. Do not leave him alone. It is obligatory for you to help him against his own self and not to leave him living among you and among the Muslims while he is neglecting the prayer. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you.
