Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A similar question. May Allah reward you. He says: I am a committed young man, but I have a problem. My father completely abandons the prayer. I have advised him, but he did not do anything about it.
Answer:
Report him to the authority. Report him to the imam of the mosque. Report him to the congregation of the mosque, perhaps they will advise him. Perhaps they will advise him. If you do not find that advice has any effect on him, then boycott him. Boycott him and stay away from him. Ibrahim (peace be upon him), when he called his father and repeated his call and he did not accept, said:[Maryam 19:48] So boycott him and live in a house other than his. Live in a separate house. Yes.
