Question:
Her father did not pray continuously; rather, he would sometimes interrupt the prayer and sometimes pray. Then he fell severely ill at the end of his life, and they do not know how they should deal with him? May Allah reward you with good, since he is unable to pray while in a coma? May Allah reward you with good, and may Allah reward you.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon His servant and Messenger, our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. To proceed: There is no doubt that the prayer is the pillar of Islam, and it is the distinguishing factor between the Muslim and the disbeliever. So whoever abandons it intentionally, he exits the religion of Islam, unless he repents to Allah and maintains his prayer. If your father, about whom you asked, abandons the prayer intentionally, and he is of sound mind, then he is considered a non-Muslim. But if he repents to Allah, if he repented to Allah before he died, then Allah accepts the repentance of whoever repents. As for if he continues in his state, not maintaining the prayers and wasting them, whether he wastes them all or he wastes some of them, praying once and leaving it off another time, and so on, then he is considered a non-Muslim and is treated as non-Muslims are treated. Yes.
