Advice to a Father Who Abandons Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: What is the ruling on advising my father if he does not pray and may commit some of what is wrong?
Answer:
The greatest of what is wrong after shirk (associating partners with Allah) is abandoning the prayer. So you must forbid him from it, advise him, and explain this matter to him, and repeat it to him, perhaps Allah will guide him. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
