Question:
What is the ruling on one who prays and recites the Qur'an only in the month of Ramadan?
Answer:
He has no prayer, no religion, and no Islam. The one who does not pray except in Ramadan is not a Muslim. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:[Al-Baqarah 2:238]. The saying of the Exalted is: [Al-Mu'minun 23:9]. It is obligatory to maintain the prayers. As for the one who prays at one time and leaves another, he is not a Muslim. And if he does not pray all year except in Ramadan, he is not a Muslim, or if he does not pray except on Friday, he is not a Muslim.

Answer:
He has no prayer, no religion, and no Islam. The one who does not pray except in Ramadan is not a Muslim. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:
Maintain with care the [obligatory] prayers and [in particular] the middle prayer
حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَىٰAnd they who carefully maintain their prayers -
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَوَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ
