Advice to the young men who pray without ablution

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This man says: I know some young men who pray without performing wudu, and they do not pay proper attention to wudu even when they do perform it. What is your advice for 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 wudu and the prayer, for it is a pillar of Islam. It is obligatory to be cautious of this, for in these days, abandoning prayer is one of the greatest major sins and crimes. The one who prays without wudu, thereby abandoning the prayer, will be a disbeliever. We ask Allah for safety. It is obligatory to warn them of this and advise them to perform the lawful wudu and to pray the prayer at its proper time.
