The ruling on one who intentionally abandons the prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on the action of one who intentionally abandons the prayer for several days or more, such as a month or otherwise? And is it obligatory for him to make it up?
Answer:
It is obligatory for him to repent, because when he intentionally abandoned it, he was not a Muslim. This is apostasy, and may Allah protect us from it. Intentionally abandoning the prayer is apostasy from Islam. But the door of repentance is open. Repent to Allah anew and maintain the prayer. Allah accepts the repentance of one who repents. Yes.
