The ruling on a minor's guardian delaying his command to pray
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you, does the guardian of a minor between the age of seven and puberty commit a sin if he is negligent in commanding the minor to pray at certain times, such as the Fajr prayer? Is he commanded? Does he lead? The guardian of a minor between the age of seven and puberty, if he is negligent in commanding the minor to pray
Answer:
No, if he commands him, and the minor is unable to attend because of cold or sleep that prevents him, but he commands him, he has fulfilled the obligation, which is the command, and that is sufficient. This is because he complied with the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): "Command your children to pray." It is merely a command, and the child is not punished if he fails to pray; he is not punished, because he is not yet subject to religious obligations. However, the danger is that he remains silent and does not command or discuss this; that is the danger. Yes.
