Question

                say if someoe close in yuor family does not read namaz and u tel this person to pray bt they dont listen.......can i pray for them , i mean can i do thir prayers?because i know they will not pray.
Praise be to Allah.Prayer is one of the pillars of Islam and it 
    is not valid except when done by the one who is obliged to do it. Not praying is kufr which puts a person beyond the pale of Islam; see question 
    no. 2182. It is not permissible for you to offer prayers on behalf of someone else who 
    does not pray. This ruling is one upon which there is consensus and there is no difference of opinion among the scholars. 
Ibn Qudaamah said: “The visible acts of worship such as prayer, fasting, purifying oneself 
    (wudoo’) cannot be delegated to others because they have to do with the body of the person who is obliged to do them, so no one else can take his 
    place, except in the case of a vowed fast, which a person may do on behalf of one who has died, but this cannot be done by way of delegation.

You have to keep on advising this person to 
    pray, and encouraging him and warning him. May Allaah open his heart to beneficial words. 
And Allaah knows best.
