Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on one who fasts but does not pray, or who prays one obligatory prayer and abandons another?
Answer:
Prayer is the second pillar of the pillars of Islam, and fasting is the fourth pillar. The fasting, zakah, Hajj, 'Umrah, and all deeds of one who abandons prayer are not valid; because one who abandons prayer intentionally commits disbelief and exits the religion. His deeds do not benefit him unless he repents to Allah the Exalted.
