Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the questions that came to the program, Honorable Shaykh Salih, this questioner, Abu 'Abdullah, says: My father passed away at the age of one hundred and ten years. In the last ten years, he did not pray. So what is required of us regarding our father?
Answer:
May he be granted longevity, he passed away into the mercy of Allah, but if his abandonment of the prayer was without intent, perhaps his mind had become confused, and he did not know about the prayer, then he owes nothing. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you.
