How should one advise a wife who neglects prayer due to ignorance?

Question:
A man has a wife, and he has advised her to pray several times, but she has not responded to his advice. It is known that she understands nothing of the Qur'an or the Sunnah. What is the ruling on this in Islam? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
He must continue to advise her and teach her. I say: he must persist in advising and teaching, and not despair. However, he should do so with kind words, a good manner, gentleness, and little by little, gradually, until she learns what Allah has made obligatory upon her and what Allah has forbidden, Glorified and Exalted is He...

The presenter: And regarding the matter of prayer?

The Shaykh: Yes?

The presenter: He says: she does not pray?

The Shaykh: Repentance, repentance is sufficient.

The presenter: If she refuses to repent, as stated in the question? He says: she refused to repent?

The Shaykh: If he has the ability, he can discipline her regarding this until she becomes upright and prays: such as a husband, a father, a grandfather, or the like, and an elder brother, while striving to guide her, direct her, encourage her to good, and warn her of the Fire. He may discipline her, if he is able, with blows that prevent her from falsehood and help her to perform what is right. Yes.

The presenter: So, if he uses beating, boycotting, and the like?

The Shaykh: Whatever he sees to be in the interest of her repentance and righteous deeds.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. So, he should not proceed to divorce until he has followed these methods.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
