The questioner : Shaykh. What is your opinion of the one who delays the 'Isha' prayer in Ramadan because he watches television series?
The Shaykh : I say: He has committed a great error, because it is not permissible for a person to delay the congregational prayer, neither in Ramadan nor in any other time. Especially since he delayed it to watch series that may be corrupt, as is usually the case. So he must repent to Allah, and strive to obey Allah the Exalted in this month, because he does not know whether it will return to him or not. How many people have not had Ramadan return to them! How many people were on the verge of Ramadan and died before they reached its first day! So he must repent to Allah from now on, and resolve and determine to meet the month of Ramadan with high enthusiasm and sincere determination.
