Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Some people have cited the statement of the Exalted,[At-Taghabun 64:16], to argue that one who is unable to pray the five daily prayers is excused from them if he prays only the Friday prayer. Is this argument valid?
Answer:
By Allah, this argument is invalid. It is not permissible to leave the prayers except on Friday, for the Friday prayer is not valid for one who does not pray the others. Yes.
