The Ruling on Abandoning the Congregational Prayer with One's Father
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. He says: My father does not pray with the congregation in the mosque. Every time I advise him, he says, "I am tired," or "I cannot do it." And every time I repeat the advice to him, he gets angry. Knowing that he prays at home, the question is: What should I do regarding my father? And I ask you to pray for his guidance.
Answer:
As for you, you are rewarded for the advice, but do not cut off the advice. I will read to you the words of the scholars, and listen to the lectures on the congregational prayer and the sermons on the congregational prayer. Pray for them, perhaps Allah will guide them, or at the very least, you will be free of blame.
