Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, there are many people in this time who do not pray, and yet they inherit from their relatives. This is based on the disputed issue regarding the ruling on the one who abandons prayer. How should one deal with these people?
Answer:
This depends on the judge’s view. If the judge holds that the one who abandons prayer is an apostate, then he does not inherit from him. But if the judge is among those who hold that abandoning prayer is not major disbelief, but rather minor disbelief, then he inherits from him. This is according to the judge’s school of jurisprudence and his view. Yes.
