The Prayer for One Who Dies While Abandoning the Prayer

Question:
The Shaykh’s sunnah (recommended practice) is to explain how to treat a son with his second father in prayer, due to his illness, weakness, and effort, Mu'awiyah, the son to his mother in his illness and death and his making.

Answer:
If he abandons the prayer intentionally and persists in this without repenting before his death, and he knows this from his own state, then he is not to be prayed over, nor is his funeral to be followed. However, if he abandons the prayer while ill, believing that some of the sick believe it is permissible for them to abandon the prayer, but Allah heals him and decrees otherwise, some of the sick imagine this, then he does not commit kufr (disbelief). He is mistaken, but he does not commit kufr because of this, because he did not abandon the prayer intentionally, but rather he abandoned it because he believed it was permissible for him, that the Lawgiver permits him this. So he is a mistaken ignoramus, but he does not commit kufr. Yes.
