What is to be done in a village where its people do not pray?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner says: It is said that the person who does not pray, his prayer is not valid, and he may die. So what should I do, because my mother does not pray, and my father is unable to order her to pray, and all the people of our village do not pray?
The Shaykh : If the matter is as the questioner stated, then he must contact the authorities, especially the head of the Department of Research, Ifta, and Guidance, so that they send guides to this village. This is because it appears that this collective action on their part is not except due to ignorance. It is obligatory to teach these people so that the truth becomes clear to them.
