Translation text: حكم الوالد الذي لا يأمر أولاده بالصلاة يقول إن كثيرا من الآباء لا ينصحون أبناءهم لتأدية الصلاة، فهل يأثم الأب؟ The Questioner says, "Verily, many fathers don't advise their sons to perform Ṣalāh. So, Is the father sinful?" الشيخ: نعم يأثم الأب لا يأمر أولاده للصلاة، وهكذا أخوهم وهكذا عمهم وخالهم وأمهم. كلهم يأثمون إذا تركوا، Shaykh: Yes. The father who doesn't command his children to (perform) Ṣalāh is sinful, and likewise is their brother, paternal uncle, maternal uncle, mother; all of them are sinful if they neglect (this). الأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر واجب. Enjoining the good and forbidding the evil is obligatory. فيجب عليهم الأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر، Therefore, It's mandatory upon them to enjoin good and forbid evil, وهو من واجب المؤمنين. And it's from the obligations of the believers. الله يقول سبحانه: {وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتُ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَآءُ بَعْضٍۢ ۚ يَأْمُرُونَ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلْمُنكَرِ} سورة التوبة، ٧١ He, Taʿāla [The Exalted] says: "The believing men and women are Auliyā’ (supporters) of one another; they enjoin (on the people) Al-Ma‘rūf (i.e. Islāmic Monotheism and all that Islâm orders one to do), and forbid (people) from Al-Munkar (i.e. polytheism and disbelief of all kinds, and all that Islām has forbidden)." [Sūrah At-Tawbah, 71] ويقول النبي ﷺ "من رأى منكم منكر فليغيره بيده، فإن لم يستطع فبلسانه، فإن لم يستطع فبقلبه." And the Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever sees Munkar among you, then let him change it with his hand, if he's unable to, then, with his tongue. If he's unable, then, with his heart." هم يقدرون الكلام، يعني، يقدرون الإنكار بالكلام، فالأم تنكر والأب والأخ الكبير والعم والخال وغيرهم، They're capable of speech, meaning, they're capable of condemning through speech. Therefore, the mother condemns, (likewise does) the father, elder brother, paternal uncle, maternal uncle, and others. فهذا من باب التعاون على البر والتقوى، For indeed, this is from the ways of helping one another in righteousness and piety. يقول الله سبحانه: {وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَىٰۖ } سورة المائدة، ٢ Allāh, Glorified be He, said, "Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwā (virtue, righteousness and piety)." [Sūrah Al-Māʾidah, 2] ويقول سبحانه: {وَالْعَصْرِ، إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ، إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّلِحتِ وَتَوَاصَوْاْ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْاْ بِٱلصَّبْرِ} سورة العصر، ١-٣ And He, Glorified be He, said, "By Al-‘Asr (the time). Verily, man is in loss, except those who believe (in Islâmic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, and recommend one another to the truth and recommend one another to patience. [Sūrah Al-ʿAṣr, 1-3] لا بد من التعاون على البر والتقوى. It's a must to help one another in righteousness and piety. ولا شك أن الإنكار على من ترك الصلاة من باب التعاون على البر والتقوى، من باب الدعوة إلى الله عز وجل. There's no doubt that condemning the one who abandons the prayer is from the ways of helping one another in righteousness, piety and a daʿwah (calling) to Allāh, the Exalted. ----------------------------------------------------- Rabbaniyeen ربانيين 🔴اليوتيوب🔴👇 https://www.youtube.com/@rabbaniyeen 🔴الانستجرام🔴👇 https://www.instagram.com/rabbaniyeen/ 🔴التيليغرام🔴👇 https://t.me/Rabbaniyeen
