The Ruling on One Who Abandons Prayer and Fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Yes, this is a bribe. Be patient, be patient a little.
The questioner:
A person used to abandon prayer and fasting, so what is required of him regarding what he did in the past?
The Shaykh:
If he abandoned the prayer, he is a disbeliever, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Between a man and shirk (associating partners with Allah) or kufr (disbelief) is the abandonment of prayer." He must repent to Allah and return to his right mind. Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
