What should a questioner do regarding his parents and family who do not pray or recite the Quran, and who have problems with money and raising children? Should he leave them or live with them?

You must be dutiful to your parents and maintain ties of kinship with your siblings, advising them and enjoining upon them good and forbidding them from evil, especially regarding prayer. Alcohol is one of the gravest major sins, so beware of it. You must associate with the righteous and make abundant supplication. It is permissible for you to leave your family home to live separately if that helps you maintain your rectitude, provided you do not sever ties with your parents. It is preferable to stay with your family if you can advise them without harm befalling you.
