The Difference Between Total and Partial Abandonment of Prayer

Question:
Yes. May Allah reward you. The questioner, Abu Mu'adh, also asks from his questions: Is there a difference between one who abandons prayer absolutely and one who abandons some of the prayers out of laziness, not denial?

Answer:
There is no difference between one who abandons all the prayers and one who abandons some of the prayers. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says: . He, Mighty and Majestic, also says: . It is obligatory for the Muslim to maintain all the prayers, and whoever intentionally abandons one prayer disbelieves in Allah, Exalted and Majestic. It is obligatory to maintain all the prayers, to be consistent in them, and to perform them at their times with the Muslim congregation. There is no option for the Muslim but this. The matter of prayer is great, and it is the first thing for which the servant will be held accountable on the Day of Resurrection from his deeds. If it is accepted, the rest of his deeds will be accepted; and if it is rejected, the rest of his deeds will be rejected. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) described it as the pillar of Islam. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Prayer is the pillar of Islam and the second pillar after the two testimonies. It is not permissible to be negligent with it or to waste some of it. Even if he prays some of the prayers, this is not sufficient until he establishes all the prayers. Yes.
