Waking the Father’s Children for Every Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it obligatory for a father to wake his children for every prayer, or is it sufficient for him to give them a general command?
Answer:
It is not obligatory for him to wake them or to beat them if they are late. He should not let them be lax with him and say, “I told them at the beginning, and that is enough.” No, for every obligatory prayer he commands them to pray. “And enjoin upon your family the prayer and be patient over it.” Look, it is a hardship, but you are patient over it. Yes.
