Is the one who abandons prayer given from the zakah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says: I am a university student.
The Shaykh : How is the remedy, my brothers, if we say this man who does not pray is poor? How is the remedy? No, he is not a scholar; he is a transgressor. The remedy for that is for us to say: Pray. Turn to Allah, pray, and we will give it to you. And is there anyone who is unable to pray? If he says he is sick, we say: Praise be to Allah, pray standing. If you cannot, then sit. If you cannot, then lie on your side. Yes.
