One who innovates in prayer and is ashamed to leave
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A person innovated during the prayer, but he was ashamed to leave the prayer for fear of people looking at him. He asks: Is it true that he is in danger of apostasy?
Answer:
Yes, some scholars hold that he becomes an apostate by this, because he treated the prayer without wudu' as permissible. He feared the people and did not fear Allah. This is not permissible for him. He should leave, and praise be to Allah.
