No matter how upsetting it would be I wouldn't stop talking to them. Maybe one day or so if I was really upset but nothing more than that. If we didn't correct our family members then who will?

I would say the person in question here is really young. He maybe a little kid because little kids have a tendency to copy people they look up to. I wouldn't be angry, infact, I would use this as an opportunity to teach this someone about Quran, prayers, etc..

This shouldn't be a normal reaction at least to me because like I said if we don't show our young ones the right way then who will? We always have to forgive as we are seniors and overlook the faults in our younger siblings.

Talking with them will not solve the issue as they would continue to do this, though not in front of me
Looking forward to replies
JazakAllah
Just slap them, thats what I would do as an older brother. Some people may not like it but sometimes it is neccasary. If this person is really young then take him to the mosque, spend a lot of time with him everyday, give him a proper upbringing.
Inshallah, everything will turn alright, Inshallah.
Wallahi though, if I had a younger brother who copied everything I did, I would take this as a positive sign that my brother looks up to me and I would use this as an opportunity to instill in him all the right etiquettes of manners and religion that I could. This is your opportunity I would say and Inshallah make the best of it.
