The Ruling on Intentionally Abandoning Some of the Prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what about the one who does not pray except occasionally? Does that make him a disbeliever? And if he dies, is the funeral prayer performed for him and is he buried in the Muslim cemeteries?
Answer:
Whoever intentionally abandons one prayer is like the one who abandons all the prayers. If he repents to Allah with a sincere repentance, then the funeral prayer is performed for him when he dies. But if he does not repent, the funeral prayer is not performed for him.
