The ruling on the fasting of one who abandons prayer or cuts off in his prayer

The questioner : He says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on one who prays but cuts off in his prayer, or does not pray, and he fasts Ramadan?

The Shaykh : Okay, the first one, the first one.

The questioner : What is the ruling on one who loves? He prays and cuts off in his prayer.

The Shaykh : He cuts off.

The questioner : Oh, my cutting off.

The Shaykh : I mean, we cut it off once, we pray, and once we pray.

The questioner : Or he does not pray, and he fasts Ramadan, so what is the ruling on his fasting in both cases? Does he have to make up the days if he broke his fast on some days while in that state?

The Shaykh : As for the one who never prays, if he fasts Ramadan, it is not accepted from him; it is not accepted from him. If he gives charity, his charity is not accepted. If he performs 'Umrah, his 'Umrah is not accepted. In fact, it is forbidden for his foot to enter the Haram, meaning a place within the boundaries of the Haram; it is forbidden for the foot of one who does not pray to enter it, because he is a disbeliever, and Allah does not accept any good deed from a disbeliever. If He intends to reward him, He will reward him in this world only, but in the Hereafter he has no share in it, and the intercession of those who intercede will not benefit him, may Allah protect us. .
As for if he prays and leaves it, we look at it: if this negligence is based on the belief that prayer is not obligatory and that a person is free to choose, praying if he wishes and not praying if he wishes, then he is a disbeliever. Why?
Because he denied its obligation, and whoever denies the obligation of one of the prayers is a disbeliever, unless he is a new convert to Islam who does not know this. He knows, okay. And if he prays out of shyness of people, not as worship of Allah, then his prayer and his leaving it are the same; his prayer and its absence are the same, so he is a disbeliever, and his fasting is not accepted from him. But if he believes that prayer is obligatory and prays for Allah, but he prays and leaves it, then in my view he is not a disbeliever. Because the hadith...
, and this did not abandon prayer, but he abandoned a prayer, and the "al" in "the prayer" encompasses all prayers. But even so, he is in danger, because some scholars say that if one abandons one obligatory prayer until its time passes, he is a disbeliever, may Allah protect us. In any case, we say to this man that the door of repentance is open. Repent to Allah, pray, and Allah will accept your prayer, your fasting, your charity, your 'Umrah, your Hajj, and all your good deeds, if the conditions of acceptance are met. Yes.
