If there are brothers in the house who do not pray, and if one of them is the one who provides for the house, is it permissible to eat from his food?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If there are brothers in the house who do not pray and who oppose Allah and His Messenger, how should one deal with them? And if one of them is the one who provides for the house from his own wealth, is it permissible to eat and drink with him or from his food and drink?

The Shaykh : Yes, if there is someone in the house who does not pray, but rather opposes Allah and His Messenger, the obligatory thing before anything else is to advise them, perhaps Allah will guide him, for Allah is the One who turns hearts, (Glorified and Exalted is He).
if one man is guided on the right path (i.e. converted to Islam) through you, it would be better for you than (a great number of) red camels. ولأن يهدي الله بك رجلا واحدا خير لك من حمر النّعم
Sahih al-Bukhari 3701
If you advise them and they do not accept the advice, it is obligatory to leave the house, even if he is the one providing for it, for
And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out (3) And will provide for him from where he does not expect. ومن يتّق الله يجعل له مخرجا ويرزقه من حيث لا يحتسب
[At-Talaq 65:2-3]
