Intercession for one who affirms the oneness of Allah but abandons prayer out of negligence

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Does the one who affirms the oneness of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, but does not pray, abandoning prayer out of laziness and negligence, fall under the scope of intercession?

Answer:
He affirms the oneness of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, but it will not benefit him until he establishes the prayer and fulfills the remaining pillars of Islam. Otherwise, if he says "La ilaha illa Allah" (There is no god but Allah) and does not pray, he is not a Muslim, and "La ilaha illa Allah" will not benefit him because he did not act in accordance with its implications, did not know its meaning, and did not act in accordance with its implications; he limited himself to the mere phrase. This does not benefit him from "La ilaha illa Allah" in any way. Yes.
