The sin of a mother who is lenient with her children regarding abandoning the prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is 'Umar's mother, who mentions that she is a divorced woman with children. She says that when their father was alive, they used to maintain the prayer, but now they are negligent about it and do not pray except rarely. She says: I am striving with them, Honorable Shaykh. Does the sin of their abandoning the prayer reach me if I am lenient with them?
Answer:
Do not be lenient with them. You are commanded to enjoin the prayer upon them and to disapprove of their neglect. Seek help from those who can assist you in disapproving of them and commanding them to pray, such as their brothers, their uncles, or the Muslims around you. Yes.
