The answer

Charity given on behalf of someone who does not pray will benefit them, according to those who do not consider such a person a disbeliever. The questioner should invite his father to prayer by every legitimate means, through encouragement and deterrence, and by winning his heart with gifts, while supplicating for his guidance.
