Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is the testimony of one who does not maintain the congregational prayer accepted?
Answer:
Regarding the congregational prayer, no, it is not accepted. The congregational prayer is obligatory. In fact, it has been said that it is a condition. Therefore, the testimony of one who is lax in the congregational prayer is not accepted; because if he is lax in the congregational prayer, he will not be lax in giving testimony, a fortiori.
