Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: My brother leaves off some of the prayers out of negligence. Is it permissible for me to take my expenses from his money, knowing that I am a student of knowledge? May Allah reward you with good.

Yes. Here.

The Shaykh:
Advise him, advise him, and have someone from the relatives and neighbors advise him, so that perhaps Allah will guide him to preserve the prayer. If he is in your care and in your home, and you eat from your money, there is nothing wrong with that if you are in dire necessity for it. Otherwise, boycott him and move away from him if he does not accept the truth. If Allah guides him and he accepts the truth, praise be to Allah. Seek the help of your good neighbors and relatives so that they advise with you and cooperate with you in your advice.
