Clearing one's conscience by advising a neighbor who is negligent in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is a person's conscience cleared if he orders one of his neighbors to pray, but the neighbor does not comply and continues to be negligent, claiming that he performs the prayer in other mosques?
Answer:
If he is performing the prayer in a mosque, his conscience is not cleared; rather, he must continue advising him until Allah the Exalted guides him. He should perform the mosque prayer, or if he becomes negligent or defiant, he should be referred to the Committee. Unless he is performing the prayer in mosques and the prayer is being performed, praise be to Allah, there is no need for exaggeration. Whichever mosque he goes to, praise be to Allah. Yes.
