Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on one who fasts but does not pray?
Answer:
The one who fasts but does not pray, his fasting is not accepted from him and his fasting is not valid, because the one who abandons the prayer intentionally is a disbeliever, and the disbeliever’s deeds are not valid, even if he fasts, even if he gives charity; his deeds are not accepted until he repents to Allah the Exalted and preserves the prayer.
