Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Does not the hadith of 'Ubadah indicate that the one who abandons prayer out of laziness is not a disbeliever? Because in the hadith it says:Sunan an-Nasa'i 5002Sahih (Darussalam)
Answer:
He did not abandon it. The hadith does not say that he abandoned it. In the hadith it says: My brother, he did not maintain its time; he prays at other times. He did not maintain the congregational prayer; he prays alone. So he did not maintain it. It did not say that he abandoned it. It says he did not maintain it. Yes.
