Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I live with my father, and my father does not pray and does not accept my advice regarding prayer, or my enjoining of good and forbidding of evil. Should I leave him and live far away, since he is not in need of me?
Answer:
Yes, if you are able to live on your own, do not stay with him while he does not pray and does not know the matters of religion; do not stay with him. If you have nothing and need his financial support, stay with him only as long as the need lasts until Allah makes you independent, and then leave, while continuing to advise him. Do not cut off your advice to him. Yes.
