What is the ruling concerning a Muslim who lives next to a mosque but rarely prays the obligatory prayers therein, and compels his 12-year-old nephew to wear an izbal (garment below the ankles) and shake hands with women?

The man must stop commanding his nephew to do evil, for this is a characteristic of hypocrites. He must also maintain congregational prayer in the mosque unless he has a valid excuse. The nephew should treat his uncle kindly and offer him advice, for religion is advice. And because hearts incline towards those who treat them well, the caller to truth should prioritize gentleness and affection.
