Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I have a colleague who constantly sleeps through the obligatory prayers. He appears to be praying, but he sleeps through more than one prayer in a day. I have already advised him. Is it permissible for me to boycott this person and leave him after advising him?
Answer:
It is not permissible for you to remain silent about it and sit with him while he does not pray in congregation and sleeps until the prayer is missed. You are required to advise him and continue doing so, or to report him to those responsible for him so that they can bring him in and ensure he keeps to his duties. Yes.
