Guidance on the phenomenon of missing the Fajr prayer in congregation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, many people frequently miss the Fajr prayer in congregation, and unfortunately, this is observed in many mosques. What is your guidance to fathers and brothers regarding this serious phenomenon?

Answer:
The head of the household must require the men in his house to go to the mosque for prayer; he is obligated to do so, because they are his flock,
All of you are shepherds and each of you is responsible for his flockكلكم راع وكلكم مسؤول عن رعيته
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 212
. Therefore, the head of the household must require the men in his house—his sons, brothers, and guests—to pray in congregation with the Muslims. If he neglects this, he is a sinner. Yes.
