Dealing with the one who does not pray Fajr but maintains the other prayers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person is asking. He says: Some people do not pray the Fajr prayer, but they maintain the remaining prayers. What should we do with them? May Allah bless you.

Answer:
They must compel him to pray the Fajr prayer and rebuke him. Allah (Exalted and Majestic) said: "Guard the prayers," and He did not exclude any of them.
Maintain with care the [obligatory] prayers and [in particular] the middle prayer and stand before Allah, devoutly obedient.حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَىٰ وَقُومُوا لِلَّهِ قَانِتِينَ
[Al-Baqarah 2:238]
Is it not permissible to be lenient with some prayers while being strict with others? This is playing with the religion. Yes.
