Advice to those who are lenient with their sons regarding the matter of prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the questions of this questioner, he says: In many homes, there are adult sons, and the fathers go to the mosque for the prayers, while these adult sons are either sleeping or busy, and they do not order them to pray. Is there a word for such fathers, Your Eminence?

Answer:
This is not permissible. Rather, it is obligatory for the fathers to order them, and for their fathers, mothers, and older brothers to order them and compel them to pray, and to beat them as well, until they pray with the people in the mosques. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Order your children to pray at seven years of age, and beat them for it at tenمروا أولادكم بالصلاة لسبع، واضربوهم عليها لعشر
Sunan ad-Daraqutni 3:5
And if they are older than ten, it is more severe and more severe. So it is obligatory for the fathers to order them, to encourage them, and to punish them as well, and likewise their older brothers. Yes.
