What is the ruling on the one who prays only the Friday prayer?
Why does he not pray except the Friday prayer?The questioner: It is his habit.
Answer: It is a habit,Therefore: I do not believe that this man’s prayer is worship. Therefore, he prays the Friday prayer as a habit, because he dresses up, adorns himself, applies perfume, and goes. And although I hold that one is not declared a disbeliever unless he abandons prayer entirely, I doubt the Islam of this man, because this man has taken the Friday prayer as merely a festival; he adorns himself and goes to the people, perfumed and adorned only. So I doubt that this man remains upon Islam.
As for what our Shaykh, Abdul Aziz, held, he is a disbeliever, and his case is concluded.
