What should one do if a person who does not pray lives with them?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He also says: There is a person living with us who does not pray, while all the brothers pray. How should we behave? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
You must advise him, guide him to good, and teach him that prayer is the pillar of Islam, and that it is one of the greatest pillars of the religion after the two testimonies. It is the greatest pillar of Islam after the two testimonies, it is the pillar of Islam, and it is the distinguishing factor between disbelief and Islam. So you must teach him, advise him, and guide him to good, and do not get tired until Allah guides him through your hands. If Allah guides him through your hands, you will have a reward like his.
If he refuses and persists, his case must be referred to the court or to the authority so that they take him to the court or to the Commission for Promoting Virtue and Prohibiting Vice, if there is such a commission in the town, so that they compel him and discipline him. If he repents, well and good; otherwise, he must be killed. It is necessary to refer him to the court, because one must not be lenient with him. This applies if you are in an Islamic country with a Shari'ah court. But if you are in a disbeliever’s country, then just guide him and advise him. You must advise him, strive in advising him, and guide him to good. Be optimistic about good, and if Allah guides him through your hands, you will have a reward like his. Yes.
