The one who does not attend the congregational prayer and the prayer over him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: What is the ruling on the one who does not attend the prayer at all, and he is among the neighbors of the mosque, even in Ramadan? And if he dies and you are asked about him, is he one who prays or not, because he is from the congregation of our mosque, do I mention that he does not pray or not? And is the funeral prayer performed over him and is he buried in the Muslim cemeteries?
Answer:
This is a matter of great danger. Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) was asked about a man who stands in night prayer and fasts by day, but he does not attend the Friday prayer or the congregational prayer. He said: He is in the Fire. There is a severe warning for him. But if he does not abandon the prayer itself, and only abandons the congregational prayer, then he is one who has abandoned a great obligation, and he is a sinner among the sinners. The funeral prayer is performed over him as long as he has not abandoned the prayer entirely.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
