Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a father advises his son who does not pray, but he does not respond, and he beats him, but he still does not pray, what is the father's obligation?
Answer:
The beating. He has to repeat the beating. Even every time. He does not say, "I beat him the first time and he didn't pray, and that's it." No, repeat the beating for him until he prays. Yes.
