The ruling on marrying a man who does not pray

Question:
He says: We have a son who is free from allegiance, and it is observed that he prays, and this is his known state. Who is aware of this? I know that you have mentioned this before. He is among the people of Islam and the people of knowledge, and he is free from allegiance, and he is a man of good character and respect.

Answer:
The issue is not merely about sin; you are certainly sinful in this, but the contract is also invalid. If you marry a man who does not pray, the contract is void and the marriage is not valid, because one who habitually abandons prayer is outside the religion. A Muslim woman cannot be married to him. It is not permissible for you to marry her to him, and you cannot do so unless he repents to Allah with a sincere repentance and maintains the prayer. Only then can you marry her to him. As for marrying her to him while he does not pray, this is forbidden for you and is not sound in reason. No.
