Question:
Hasan Muhammad says: There are some people who maintain the prayer in the blessed month of Ramadan, but on ordinary days they do not maintain it; rather, they are negligent. What is your guidance?
Answer:
Maintaining the prayer only in Ramadan does not benefit them. For the prayer, as Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nisa 4:103]. A book means it is obligatory and time-bound, meaning it is performed in its known times.

فَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ كَانَتْ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كِتَابًا مَّوْقُوتًا
