The ruling on leaving a girl to sleep through the Fajr prayer

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: I have a daughter who is eight years old. I leave her to sleep through the prayer until she wakes up on her own. What is the ruling on my action, especially regarding the Fajr prayer?

Answer:
Do not leave her; it is disliked to leave her. You should wake her up. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is a girl of eight years old. Therefore, it becomes more emphasized that you wake her for prayer and accustom her to waking up for prayer. If you leave her, she will become accustomed to laziness and negligence regarding prayer. You are a guardian, and a guardian does not neglect his duty of upbringing under the pretext of being gentle with the person, or being kind to the child, or having mercy on him. Mercy lies in his upbringing, not in leaving him alone. So you must strive to wake the child, whether male or female, if he is seven years old or older, so that he prays. Yes.
