Advice regarding the sons of Qur'an memorizers who are isolated

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a woman asking. She says: Our father, may Allah prolong his life, is a noble man, a memorizer of the Qur'an, and one who stands in prayer at night. He has much good in him, as I perceive it, and Allah is his accountant. We have brothers who are among the memorizers of the Book of Allah, and they have graduated from the department of recitations. However, our mother is distressed with them because they do not attend gatherings of dhikr, nor do they read religious books. She believes that because of this, they have developed a social fear of leading people in the prayers. They, in turn, are also distressed with themselves and their condition. So what do you advise, Honorable Shaykh, and what is the obligation of our mother toward them, knowing that she supplicates to Allah for them frequently?

Answer:
Yes, the supplication is in its proper place. She should supplicate to Allah for them, and they should also be trained. They had shyness about leading the prayer, so they should try it gradually, and the shyness will disappear, if Allah wills, with practice. They should also be advised to seek knowledge and to keep the company of scholars and righteous people. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
