Question:
This is another questioner who says: What is the ruling on abandoning prayer due to being preoccupied with work or something else?
Answer:
Prayer. It is not to be neglected, but rather performed in its time, in congregation, and in the mosques, because it is the most emphatic of the obligatory acts of Islam after the two testimonies, and it is the first thing for which a servant will be held accountable on the Day of Resurrection from his deeds. If it is accepted, the rest of his deeds are accepted, and if it is rejected, the rest of his deeds are rejected. It is a matter of great responsibility.
It is a great reward for the one who memorizes it, guards it, and performs it as Allah commanded. It forbids what is shameful and what is wrong, as He the Exalted and Majestic said:[Al-'Ankabut 29:45] It contains the remembrance of Allah, [Al-'Ankabut 29:45] and the remembrance of Allah is the greatest. It is a great act of worship, and for that reason Allah made it obligatory upon His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in Makkah before the Hijrah, and He made it obligatory upon him in the sky on the night of the Mi'raj. The other obligatory acts were revealed to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) through Jibril, who brought them down to the earth. As for the prayer, it was made obligatory in the sky upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Ummah, which indicates its great status with Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.

Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing
إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ تَنْهَىٰ عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنكَرِand the remembrance of Allah is greater
