Her mother does not pray and claims she does not know how to perform wudu'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q2: My mother is about (50) years old, and she has not prayed throughout her life. I have tried with her many times, but her only word was: (I do not know how to perform wudu'). I tried to teach her wudu', but she would say to me in the same phrasing: (Those who pray, what did they take?) The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: One who abandons prayer is in the ruling of a disbeliever . So should I refrain from dealing with her and sitting next to her? Or is this also considered undutifulness to her, and I would be committing the sin of being undutiful to my mother? Please inform us, may Allah reward you. And peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
A2: It is obligatory for you to enjoin prayer upon your mother and teach her the rulings of ritual purity, and it is not permissible for you to leave her. Allah the Exalted said: And Allah the Exalted said: [At-Tahrim 66:6]
And He the Exalted said:[Ash-Shu'ara 26:214] And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
A2: It is obligatory for you to enjoin prayer upon your mother and teach her the rulings of ritual purity, and it is not permissible for you to leave her. Allah the Exalted said:
And enjoin upon your family the prayer and be patient over it
وَأْمُرْ أَهْلَكَ بِالصَّلاَةِ وَاصْطَبِرْ عَلَيْهَاO you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا قُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًا وَقُودُهَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَةُAnd He the Exalted said:
And warn, [O Muhammad], your closest kindred.
وَأَنْذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الأَقْرَبِينَ
