Answer:
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.
We have issued many Fataawa concerning the ruling of the one who abandons performing the prayers. See Fataawa 84390 and 85831.
We advise you to continue on advising your sister, seek the help of your family members and those who have influence on her in this regard. Remind her of Allaah and His grave punishment since the Prayers are the greatest pillar of Islam after the Two Testimonies of Faith. Whoever abandons his prayers, will neglect the other obligations more easily.
As for your request to send Islamic literature to be distributed in your area, first, we appreciate your ambition and your zeal in calling people towards Islam. We ask Allaah to grant you the best reward for that. Second, we advise you to contact any Islamic center in your area or in that country, and they will respond to your request.
This site is dedicated to issue Fataawa, so we can not fulfill your request.
Allaah Knows best.
