The obligation to order everyone in the house to pray

Q: I have three brothers, and I am the eldest of them. They have wives, and I force them to pray the Fajr prayer. Should I leave them alone and let their sins be upon their husbands, or should I force them? I know that they do pray, but the Fajr prayer is difficult for them.

A: Since you are all in one house and you are the eldest in the house, it is obligatory for you to order everyone in the house to pray and to be strict with them in this regard, whether they are men, women, or children. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): However, you should call out to these women while you are outside the room where they sleep when you want to wake them up, so that you do not see their 'awrah (parts of the body that must be covered). It is also necessary for you and their husbands to advise them all while they are awake and gathered together. Perhaps that will benefit them and encourage them to get up for the Fajr prayer at its time when reminded.
