Q: My 14 year old has just revealed to me that she hasnt made salaat in 2 years approximately and that she has been sneaking onto the internet and listening to music as well as exchanging haraam material. She also claims that she is bisexual. We are practising Muslims, we have taleem in the home and community. My husband participates in the effort of dawah and my children attend fiqh classes with an Alimah and tajweed class with a qariah and Quran classes with a Haafizah. I do not know what to do. Please help us Insha Allah.
A: She should do the qadha for the last two years. Further start off the following program at home for at least fifteen minutes in the mornings and evenings:
1. Ta`leem of Fazaa’il-A`maal, Fazaa’il-e-Sadaqaat and Bahishti Zewar.
2. Recitation of a portion of the Qur’aan Shareef and some zikr.
3. Collective du`aa with the family at the end of each session.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
