Advising a brother who does not pray and commits sins

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks and says: My younger brother does not pray, and he commits sins. When I advise him, he does not listen. What can I do, and what do you advise me to do?

Answer:
If there are men of hisbah (those who enjoin good and forbid evil) in the town, inform them about him. Let them take him and advise him and teach him. But if there are no men of hisbah, continue advising him, perhaps Allah will guide him. Continue advising him, perhaps Allah will guide him. Yes. If he refuses and persists, cut off relations with him and stay away from him. Yes.
