[Al-Ma'arij 70:34] They are heedless. Complete the verse that follows it; it explains it. [Al-Ma'un 107:4-5] It means they waste its time, do not pray it at its appointed times, and abandon the congregational prayer while they are close to the mosques. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, Shaykh Salih, and may Allah bless your knowledge, reward you, and place that in your scale of good deeds.
