Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A man does not pray except on Friday and the two festivals, and he does not pray the other prayers, but he fasts Ramadan, what is his ruling?
Answer:
If he never prays, neither at home nor in the mosque, and he abandons the prayer intentionally, then he is a disbeliever, and his fasting of Ramadan is not valid, and his Friday prayer is not valid; all of it is invalid because he has committed apostasy from the religion of Islam by intentionally abandoning the prayer. So no deed he does will benefit him unless he repents to Allah and maintains the five prayers. Yes.
