The ruling on one who abandons the prayer and is lax with it in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What does the Shaykh say about the prayers?
Answer:
The prayer is a matter of great importance, and in Ramadan it is even more severe and greater. If it is an obligation for Muslims at all times, and abandoning it is disbelief and misguidance, even if one does not deny its obligation, as mentioned earlier in the most correct of the scholars' opinions, and laziness regarding it is among the characteristics of the hypocrites, then in Ramadan it becomes more so. In Ramadan, the matter is greater, and the sin is more. If one is lax with it in Ramadan, the sin becomes greater. And if he abandons it entirely, as mentioned earlier, he has no fast, because he commits major disbelief by abandoning it, may Allah protect us, as mentioned earlier in the hadiths. May Allah bless you. Peace. Yes. Amen.
