Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I have an elderly maternal uncle whom I visit and talk with, but he smokes. I disapprove of it and I want to keep encouraging him to maintain the prayers, because he prays and then leaves them off. Is this action correct?
Answer:
Yes, the fact that you visit him, advise him, and urge him to pray is good; this is calling to Allah.
