Awakening the Sleeper from the Obligatory Prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If someone sleeps through the obligatory prayers, is it sufficient to alert him once and wake him up once, or must he be alerted until he wakes up?
Answer:
He must be alerted to the prayer until he gets up and prays. You cannot say, "I alerted him, so I am done." No, you must repeat the alert to him. If he does not comply, you must report him to the authorities so they can take action against him through the members of the Committee for Promoting Virtue and Preventing Vice. Yes. The imam and the mu'adhdhin in the mosque will help you with this. Yes.
