Does the one who does not pray a single prayer enter Islam?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. Do we say that if this person who does not pray prays one obligatory prayer, he has entered Islam?
The Shaykh : There is scholarly disagreement among the earlier and later scholars. Some hold that if a person leaves off just one prayer without an excuse until its time passes, he becomes a disbeliever.
The questioner : I mean, he does not pray, but when he wanted to perform Hajj, he prayed, for example, the midday prayer and went to perform Hajj?
The Shaykh : There is nothing wrong with that. From the moment he prayed, he returned to Islam.
