A 2: The hadiths indicating the disbelief of one who abandons prayer, such as his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Ibn Hibban 9:19, and his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): , indicate that abandoning some of the prayers is like abandoning all of them, except that abandoning all the prayers is a greater sin. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
