Is the mother sinful for hitting her daughter who is negligent in prayer after reaching puberty, and should she continue to do so?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Parents must command a boy to pray at the age of seven and beat him for it at the age of ten. If a girl reaches puberty after completing nine years of age, she is obliged to pray. Parents must guide her, encourage her, and wisely discipline her to rectify her.
