The ruling on one who abandons the prayer for three times and its effect on the wife
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A man says: He left three prayer times. Does he leave the religion of Islam? And is his wife divorced?
The Shaykh:
If he abandons three times, or rather, if he intentionally abandons even one time until the time for it has passed, he has apostatized from the religion of Islam. He must repent to Allah and enter Islam anew. Yes.
The presenter:
The professor has finished.
The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
