The ruling on one who intentionally sleeps through the prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person intentionally sleeps through the prayer, does that make him a disbeliever?
Answer:
Yes. Some scholars hold that he becomes a disbeliever, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not command making up the prayer except for the one who slept through it and the one who was unconscious. This indicates that the prayer of the one who intentionally missed it is not valid, even if he makes it up. This indicates his disbelief, because he intentionally left it. And whoever intentionally leaves one prayer is like whoever intentionally leaves many prayers. This is the evidence for those who hold that the one who abandons the prayer is a disbeliever. Yes.
