Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: My son is seventeen years old. He makes it difficult for me to wake him for prayer, and he delays me from the Fajr prayer. So should I go and leave him?
Answer:
No, do not go and leave him. But repeat it to him or hit him, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “He is to be hit at ten.” This one says he is seventeen years old. He is to be hit until he gets up and prays. You do not leave him sleeping and go to your house to shelter one who does not pray.
