Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I seek forgiveness from Allah for you, Your Eminence the Shaykh. This is Salim, and he asks: Is one who abandons work entirely a Muslim?
Answer:
The one who does not work is not a Muslim. How can he be a Muslim if he does not work? He does not pray, he does not fast, he does not pay zakah, he does not perform Hajj. This is not a Muslim. Yes.
