What is the ruling on a sister shunning her brother who practices sodomy, and what should she do regarding other family problems, such as her father and sister not observing prayers, and the presence of music and immodest display in the home?

Summary: Previously, guidance was provided regarding advising those who commit immoral acts, how to address sexual deviancy, the ruling on maintaining ties with relatives who commit sins, and the permissibility of shunning a sinner for the purpose of discipline and deterrence.

Regarding the father who does not pray on time and the sister who abandons prayer, they should be advised gently and kindly, and reminded of the virtues of prayer, while bearing in mind that one who abandons prayer is considered a disbeliever.

The questioner is advised to fulfill his duty towards his family by offering advice, while realizing that guidance is in the hands of Allah Almighty. He should not grieve himself to death over their lack of guidance, but this does not mean abandoning their دعوتهم ونصحهم (invitation and advice).
