Is there any obligation on a woman if she advises her husband to pray in congregation and he does not comply?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : This questioner says that she always advises her husband to pray in congregation in the mosque, but he does not respond, especially regarding the Fajr prayer. So, is there anything required of her after that?

The Shaykh : There is nothing required of her, if she is advising her husband to pray with the congregation but he is negligent in doing so, because Allah the Exalted said to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
Not upon you, [O Muhammad], is [responsibility for] their guidance, but Allah guides whom He wills. ليس عليك هداهم ولكن الله يهدي من يشاء
[Al-Baqarah 2:272]
So, if she has performed the obligatory advice, her conscience is clear. If he is guided, it is for himself, and if he is not guided, it is upon him.
This is different from the woman whose husband does not pray, neither with the congregation nor in his house, and she advises him but he does not comply. In this case, it is obligatory for her to separate from this husband, because this husband is a disbeliever, and a disbeliever is not permissible for a Muslim woman.
