Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Does the one who abandons a pillar of Islam, such as fasting or Hajj, become a disbeliever for doing so?
Answer:
The one who abandons the prayer becomes a disbeliever because there are hadiths to that effect. As for the one who abandons fasting while denying its obligation, he becomes a disbeliever. But if he is merely lazy, he does not become a disbeliever; however, it is obligatory for him to make up the fasts and repent. It is obligatory for him to repent and make up the fasts. If he does not repent and make them up, the one in authority must compel him and discipline him until he fasts. The same applies to Hajj. Yes.
