Is the prayer of the parents accepted if they do not order their children to pray?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The brother Abdullah says: Honorable Shaykh, do the believing monotheists see the Messenger on the Day of Resurrection and gather with him on the Day of Resurrection?

Answer:
To complete the answer, as for the questioner’s statement that it is said there is no prayer for the parents if they do not order their children to pray, we say: Yes, if the parents do not order their children to pray, they have abandoned a great obligation that Allah placed upon them, and they will be questioned about it on the Day of Resurrection. As for their prayer, it is accepted despite their bearing this great deficiency in not raising their children and not forbidding what is wrong. They performed an obligation, which is praying with their own selves, and they abandoned an obligation, which is ordering their children to pray and compelling them to do so. Yes.
