The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, it is said that one who misses three congregations is considered a disbeliever. Is there a basis for this statement?
The Shaykh:
One who missed what?
The questioner:
Three congregations, and he is considered a disbeliever. Is there a basis for this statement in the Shari'ah?
The Shaykh:
Where did they get this statement from? That is, if he does not pray Jumu'ah or Zuhr intentionally, and does not pray Jumu'ah or Zuhr, he is a disbeliever. But if he prays Zuhr and does not abandon the prayer, he is not considered a disbeliever; rather, the warning applies to him that Allah has sealed his heart. Yes, the warning applies to him. Yes.
