Advice on the Shortcoming of Sons in the Fajr Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
My sons are falling short in the Fajr prayer and some of the other prayers. I order them to pray, but I am unable to beat them. What is the advice for these young men?

Answer:
If they do not comply except by being struck, then strike them, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said
Order your children to pray at seven, and strike them for it at ten, and separate them in their bedsمروا أولادكم بالصلاة لسبع واضربوهم عليها لعشر، وفرقوا بينهم في المضاجع
Sunan ad-Daraqutni 3:5
, so this is necessary. It is necessary when they refuse to pray and they have reached the age of ten, that they be struck and disciplined. Yes.
