Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister asks, Honorable Shaykh: What is your advice for those who fast but do not pray?
Answer:
Their fasting and any other act of worship are not valid. One who deliberately abandons the prayer is a disbeliever, and the worship of a disbeliever is not accepted. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saidSunan Ibn Majah 1078Sahih (Darussalam), and he said Sunan Ibn Majah 1079Sahih (Darussalam) Sunan Ibn Majah 1079Sahih (Darussalam). Therefore, one who deliberately abandons the prayer has no share in Islam, and consequently, no act of worship is valid from him, neither fasting nor charity nor anything else, until he repents to Allah the Exalted and maintains the prayer. Yes.
