Ruling on sitting with a son who does not
offer Salah
Q: A mother asks about the religious ruling
on sitting with her son who does not offer Salah. What is your advice in this
regard? May Allah reward you with the best.
A: She should decide the best possible way
to treat him; if eating and sitting with this son will help her advise him to
observe the religious obligation and perform Salah, she should do her best to
achieve that. However, if this way is useless and has no effect on him, she
should not eat or sit with him. She should also seek the help of other
relatives and righteous people to guide him to the right way or deter him from
his wrong way. May Allah save us from this vice. All Muslims should care for
and attend the congregationalprayers and the Friday Prayer.
