What is the ruling on one who abandons prayer? And what is the ruling on his charity, fasting, and Hajj?

The questioner : What is the ruling on one who abandons prayer? And what is the ruling on his charity and fasting?

The Shaykh : What is the ruling on one who abandons prayer?

The questioner : And what is the ruling on his charity, fasting, and Hajj?

The Shaykh : It appears to me that the answer has two aspects. The first aspect is based on the saying of Allah, the Exalted: . The second aspect is a hadith that says—and it is, of course, authentic—: . The question here is: do we understand from the invalidity of the work for the one whose prayer is invalid that all his other deeds are not accepted and he gains no benefit from them, or does the invalidity here mean something other than this? For example, are two men equal in status: one who used to pray a poor prayer, such that when it was examined on the Day of Judgment it was found to be invalid, but he has good deeds from zakah, from charity, and from fasting, as mentioned in the question; is this man equal to another man who did not pray, did not fast, and did not give charity? The texts of the Shari'ah stand between us and such a belief. Therefore, we should understand the invalidity mentioned in the hadith not as meaning the destruction of all the righteous deeds he brought, no; because that would mean we have made this person—as some scholars say today—a disbeliever; that is, one who abandons prayer is a disbeliever. For it is the disbelievers whose righteous deeds are nullified because of their disbelief, as He, Mighty and Majestic, said: . It is not known of the Muslim in Islam that his work is completely nullified; rather, he sees his recompense on the Day of Resurrection, whether good or evil, as mentioned earlier in the previous verse: .
Other than that?
