Question:
He says: When I was young, I did not fast for some days in Ramadan, and my prayer was intermittent. What is the ruling?
Answer:
He must repent to Allah and maintain his prayer and fasting. As for the prayer he left, it is not in accordance with Islam. One who intentionally abandons prayer is not a Muslim. Even if he fasts, his fasting is not valid because he is not a Muslim. If he repents and maintains his prayer, his acts of worship and fasting become valid. So he must repent and maintain his prayer and fasting in the future. Yes.
