Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What about the one who does not pray, and I have already advised him, but he did not respond? Should I inform his brothers and relatives about this?
Answer:
Yes, inform the one who can take him by the hand and compel him to pray. If there are men of hisbah (religious police) or a committee in the town, inform them. If there is no hisbah and no committee, inform his relatives and brothers from among the people of good who can take him by the hand. Yes.
