Advice for sons who are negligent in congregational prayer

Question:
The questioner says: We ask Your Excellency the Shaykh (may Allah preserve him) to offer advice to sons who are negligent in attending the obligatory prayer with the Muslim congregation in the mosque.

Answer:
It is obligatory for fathers to raise their sons to pray in congregation from an early age so that they become accustomed to it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . His father should accustom him to praying in congregation from a young age. When he reaches ten years old, he should strike him if he is late for the congregational prayer and discipline him, not letting him roam freely after his desires with the foolish. He is required to raise him, look after him, follow up on his conduct, and take him with him to the mosque.
