Advice for the young man who prays but commits some violations

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
From North Africa, this young man says: What is the ruling of the Shari'ah, in your view, regarding the person who prays,

Answer:
However, he commits violations and sins. He is rewarded for his repentance to Allah, his prayer, his righteous deeds, and his fulfillment of the obligatory duties. He is held accountable for the sins and bad deeds he commits, unless he repents to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). He must repent to Allah and stay away from the cattle. Allah the Exalted said:
and establish prayer. Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing, and the remembrance of Allah is greater. And Allah knows that which you do.وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ تَنْهَىٰ عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنكَرِ وَلَذِكْرُ اللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَصْنَعُونَ
[Al-'Ankabut 29:45]
Prayer restrains from indecency and wrongdoing. Therefore, it is not fitting for the one who prays to commit sins, because his prayer restrains him from that.
