The ruling on eating the slaughter of one who does not pray and does not fast
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The first message in this episode is from listener Muhammad Hamed al-Aziz from the Sharqia Governorate in the Arab Republic of Egypt. Brother Muhammad asks a number of questions, one of which is: Is it permissible to eat the slaughter of one who does not pray and does not fast, but does not deny the obligation of either, rather he abandons them out of laziness? Please rule on this, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions. As for what follows, one of the conditions for the permissibility of a slaughtered animal is that the one who slaughters it must be from the people of lawful slaughter, meaning he must be a Muslim or a People of the Book. The one who intentionally abandons prayer is not a Muslim. So if the one who abandons prayer does so intentionally, even if he does not deny its obligation, according to the correct opinion, he is considered a disbeliever. This is based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and there is much evidence in the Book and the Sunnah. Therefore, the one who does not pray has no share of Islam. If that is the case, then his slaughter is not permissible, because he is not from the people of lawful slaughter. Yes.

Between the servant and disbelief or shirk (associating partners with Allah) is the abandonment of prayer. He said, may Allah send prayers and blessings upon him: "The covenant between us and them is prayer, so whoever abandons it has committed disbelief."
بين العبد وبين الكفر أو الشرك ترك الصلاة، فقال صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْعَهْدُ الَّذِي بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُمْ الصَّلَاةُ فَمَنْ تَرَكَهَا فَقَدْ كَفَرَ،
