Advice for those who pray without performing wudu'

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I know some of the young men who pray without ablution, and they do not pay proper attention to ablution when they perform it. What is your advice to them?

Answer:
Advise them and inform them that this is a great evil. It is obligatory for them to repent to Allah, [by performing] the lawful ablution and the prayer, for it is the pillar of Islam. It is obligatory to be cautious of this, for this is among the greatest of major sins and crimes. Abandoning the prayer is disbelief, and the one who prays without ablution, abandoning the prayer, will be a disbeliever. We ask Allah for safety. It is obligatory to warn them of this and advise them so that they perform the lawful ablution, and so that they pray the prayer in its time.
