The questioner : . . . ؟
The Shaykh : ... What was narrated is difficult to verify and is weak in any case... Both are equal in the air. If it is permissible to eat the meat of a Christian, then it is permissible to eat the meat of a Muslim who abandons prayer, because in the case of some Muslims, he is in the ruling of a disbeliever, but he is not a disbeliever; rather, he is an open sinner.
