The answer

Parents must command their child to pray. Therefore, the questioner should continue to command her child to pray in an appropriate manner, and there is no sin upon her after that. She should also explain to her husband the obligation of commanding the child to pray, citing Qur’anic verses that encourage this, such as the Almighty's saying: "O my son, establish prayer," and "He used to enjoin prayer and charity upon his family," and "Enjoin prayer upon your family and be steadfast in it." The discussion must be scholarly and calm.
