Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I struggle with waking my children for the Fajr prayer, and sometimes they pray at home. What is your guidance on this?
Answer:
Be patient with the hardship. Do not let them pray at home, because if you let them pray at home the first time, they will take to it and become lazy. But be firm with them; do not leave unless they are with you, in front of you. In two or three days, they will get used to it and give up on the idea that you will let them do this. This kind of upbringing does not work with leniency in this matter. Yes.
