Question:
I live with people, but they do not wake up for the Fajr prayer except late. What do you advise me and them to do? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is obligatory to wake up for the Fajr prayer, to pray in congregation in the mosque, and to respond to the mu'adhdhin by attending the mosque. It is obligatory for you toward these people to wake them up for the Fajr prayer, and it is obligatory for them to get up, and for you all to go to the Fajr prayer with the Muslims. This is what is obligatory for you. As for seeing that you must remain with them and stay silent, while you go to pray and leave them, this is not permissible for you. Rather, it is obligatory for you to command them to pray and wake them up for prayer. If they do not comply, do not get up, and you have done your utmost with them, but it has not shown any effect in them, then you must isolate yourself from them and not remain with them. Yes. May Allah reward you with good.
