How is the one who does not pray to be treated? And is he to be visited in his home?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Very well.
The questioner : A questioner says: If there is a person who does not pray and is commanded to pray, is it permissible to sit with him and visit him?
The Shaykh : He is commanded to pray but does not pray?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : Is he to be sat with and visited?
The Shaykh : The man who never prays, neither in the mosque nor at home, is to be advised and warned of Allah. If he reforms, that is what is desired. If he does not reform, he must be referred to the authorities so that they compel him to pray and seek his repentance. If he repents, well and good; otherwise, he must be killed, for he is an apostate, may Allah protect us from that.
As for dealing with him, he should be boycotted, and one should not invite him nor accept his invitation, for he is an apostate.
