The Ruling on One Who Deliberately Abandons Zakah and Fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person deliberately abandons zakah and fasting out of negligence, does he commit major kufr (disbelief) that expels him from the religion, and will he be eternally in the Fire?
Answer:
If he is praying, if he has not abandoned the prayer, he is not considered to have exited the fold of Islam. However, his abandonment of zakah and his abandonment of fasting are considered sins. He must pay the zakah, fast for Allah, and pay the zakah. He must also make up the fasting that is due from him, and by doing so, his conscience is cleared.
