Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: Sister Umm 'Abdullah, Shaykh, I sent a message, and you had previously addressed it (may Allah preserve you). She says: Our father passed away, and I have five sons who are twenty, eighteen, and fourteen years old. However, Shaykh, I struggle with the Fajr prayer. Also, when they go out, I do not know if they prayed or not? The most important thing is the Fajr prayer; they cannot get up, and I keep trying with them. What do you advise me to do? Do I bear sin?
Answer:
The Shaykh: You receive reward if you take them to the Fajr prayer and they go and pray with the Muslims, so you have reward in that. And this is what is obligatory upon you, so do not leave them sleeping and abandoning the prayer. Rather, insist on waking them, and accustom them to the prayer, to getting up for it and caring about it. You are upon a great reward, and this is the religious upbringing, the beneficial upbringing. Yes.
