Question:
If the father, who is in that state, is forbidden from committing sins, including abandoning prayer and fasting, and yet he is not pleased with his sons, does his anger affect the sons of Shaykh Salih?
Answer:
The one who intentionally abandons prayer is a disbeliever; he is considered among the disbelievers, unless he repents to Allah. He is to be treated as a disbeliever; for he is not to be loved, and affection for him is not permissible. However, his worldly rights are to be given to him, such as being kind to him and providing for him if he is in need.
