The Disagreement on the Issue of the One Who Abandons Prayer and How to Determine the Stronger Position

Question:
Therefore, the Shaykh and the rule of the scholars. This one says that he saw Allah guiding the people of custom, and likewise the one who sees that the people of custom should be belittled, because he is among those who oppose them as well. Our strongest position and the rule of the scholars, this has occurred to the beloved youth, this is the topic.

Answer:
It is not by looking at the disagreement, but by looking at the evidence. So whoever has the evidence, he is the one who is correct, and the second is the one who is mistaken. The evidence is with the one who holds that the one who abandons prayer commits major kufr (disbelief) that takes him out of the religion. This is the one who has the correct evidence.
And whoever says otherwise is mistaken. He says this is an error, and this is contrary to the evidence. We do not return to the disagreement, we return to the evidence. . To whom is the dispute referred? Or the disagreement of the scholars, or it is referred to the Book in the Surah. So whoever has the evidence is the one who is right, and whoever does not have the evidence is the one who is mistaken.
