May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Sometimes a person experiences a deficiency in continuing voluntary acts of worship, yes. Does his status as a close friend of Allah decrease in this case?
Answer:
Yes, if this is due to laziness, then his status as a close friend of Allah decreases. But if it is due to an excuse, such as sleeping or being ill, then it does not decrease, and he is recorded as having the same reward as when he was performing them while healthy and present.
