Is there evidence in the saying of Allah the Exalted: "They said: We were not among those who prayed," that disbelievers are addressed by the branches of the Shari'ah?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In response to the saying of the Exalted and Majestic, , some scholars have cited it as evidence that disbelievers are addressed by the branches of the Shari'ah, so it is added

Answer:
Yes, yes. This issue is a matter of scholarly disagreement among the specialists in the principles of jurisprudence. Are disbelievers not addressed by the branches of the Shari'ah, but rather addressed first to Islam? Entering Islam, and then, once they have entered Islam, they are addressed by the branches of the Shari'ah? This is the view of the majority. There are those who say they are addressed by the branches of the Shari'ah even if they have not entered Islam. The implication is that their punishment on the Day of Resurrection is increased beyond that for disbelief; they are given additional punishment for their abandonment of the obligatory acts and their commission of forbidden acts.
