Advice for one who does not pray and claims knowledge
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, his father does not pray, and when I advise him, he says, "I know more than you. What do you advise me to do with you?"
Answer:
That is, he does not know the prayer, yet he claims to know more than him, and he does not know the prayer. This is what has happened; this is compounded ignorance, may Allah protect us from it. Or he is a misguided scholar. He should continue advising him and warn him of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). If he refuses, and he is able to separate himself from him, he should separate from him. He should live in a house of his own with his family, or he should live in his own house by himself. However, he should continue to be dutiful and kind to him, even if he is living in another house.
