Question:
The questioner says: We have people who claim or attribute themselves to Islam, but they do not know the meaning of the testimony, nor do they pray, nor do they fast. He asks: Do we call them Muslims because of their claim?

Answer:
No, they are not called Muslims unless
If they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and they establish the prayer and give the zakahإذا شهدوا أن لا إله إلا الله وأن محمدا رسول الله وأقاموا الصلاة وأتوا الزكاة
Sunan ad-Daraqutni 9:1
and they bring the pillars of Islam, they bring the pillars of Islam, otherwise they are not Muslims. Yes.
