Fasting while abandoning the prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
In Europe, many people fast in Ramadan but do not pray, but it is not a case of them not wanting to pray.
The Shaykh:
No, they do not take care of the prayer. We seek help from Allah. It is necessary that he make the prayer the greatest and most important thing for him. If he does not pray, he is a disbeliever, may Allah keep us safe. If they were directed toward the good, and the callers to Allah taught them.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
Glory be to Allah.
