Dealing with a relative who sleeps through much of the prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: I have a relative who sleeps through much of the prayer, to the extent that since the beginning of Ramadan he has missed the Friday prayer two or three times. What is the ruling?
The Shaykh:
It is obligatory to advise him and take him by the hand. What does he say?
The questioner:
Did he miss the Friday prayer two or three times?
The Shaykh:
A friend says, "Yes, it is obligatory for you to advise him and take him by the hand so that you help him against his own self. Help him against his own self and do not leave him. Seek help from Allah, then from your brothers and those around you, and especially his relatives. Cooperate with him to take him by the hand toward good. Yes."
