The ruling on one who dies having abandoned prayer and the zakah being lost before it reached the poor

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
something. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: And what you estimate of the life of a camel. For it will be asked about the Hereafter.

Answer:
If it is established that he died while not praying, and he was persisting in abandoning prayer, he is a disbeliever and is treated as a disbeliever. However, if he repented before death but was unable to make up the prayers, meaning he repented and then died without being able to pray after his repentance, his repentance is accepted. Allah accepts the repentance of a servant as long as he has not reached the point of death (gurgling). He is treated as a Muslim because he repented to Allah the Exalted and Majestic, but he was not able to perform the prayers in the future; rather, death overtook him immediately after his repentance. So this person is a Muslim, a repentant Muslim, and whoever repents, Allah accepts his repentance. But if he died while persisting in abandoning prayer, he is a disbeliever.
Yes. No, this is not a wife who is separated from him by death; he is separated from her by apostasy from before. So she is his wife, but from the time he apostatized, she is separated from him in death.
No, it does not suffice for him as long as it has not reached the poor. It does not suffice for him. If a person prepares dirhams and entrusts them to be given as zakah, and they are lost or stolen, he is required to replace them because they did not reach the poor and they were still in his ownership. They were taken from him while they were in his ownership. Yes.
