Admonishing the one who abandons prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 14150 )
Q: What is the ruling in Islam regarding people who are guests in my home, some of whom refuse to wake up for the Fajr prayer? Should I leave him alone or wake him from his sleep, even though he becomes extremely angry when woken up? What is the ruling in this matter? Please inform us; may Allah reward you.
A: It is obligatory for you to wake up anyone sleeping in your home for the Fajr prayer, because this falls under the category of enjoining good. If he does not comply, it is obligatory to remove him from the house, because that is part of completing the forbidding of evil. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
