Question:
What is the ruling on being negligent in performing the prayer?

Answer:
When he prays, but he is negligent regarding the congregation, being negligent in the prayer with the congregation, this is forbidden and a sin, but he does not become a disbeliever because of it. However, there is a warning for him, a warning for him, but he does not become a disbeliever because of it. And this is among those about whom Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:
(4) So woe to those who pray (5) [But] who are heedless of their prayer -فَوَيْلٌ لِّلْمُصَلِّينَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَن صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ
[Al-Ma'un 107:4-5]
. He becomes heedless of it and does not pray it with the congregation, or he delays it past its time without an excuse. This is one who is threatened with wail. He prays; he has not abandoned the prayer. Yes.
