Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Also, he asks and says: If the father does not perform the prayer and fasting, is it obligatory to obey him in every matter?
Answer:
He is not to be obeyed except in what is right. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Mishkat al-Masabih 3696 in what is right. However, it is obligatory for you to advise your father and to compel him to pray and maintain the prayer, and to warn him of Allah, reminding him of death, the Fire, and the immediate and deferred punishments for those who abandon the prayer, perhaps Allah will guide him.
