Yes, but is there not harshness in Hamad's expression, because he says that many disbelievers become Muslim during the day in Ramadan and then pray, and I believe he is referring to some people?

The questioner : But is there not harshness in Hamad's expression, because he says: many disbelievers become Muslim during the day in Ramadan and then pray, and I believe he is referring to some people who are considered Muslims, because before Ramadan they never pray at all, so when Ramadan enters they head to the mosques and pray, and when Ramadan leaves they abandon prayer and return to what they were doing?

The Shaykh : In reality, there is no harshness in it.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : Because the one who prays, I mean, a person says with his full mouth that the one who does not pray, yes.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : A person says with his full mouth about the one who does not pray that he is a disbeliever, because the one who said that is the most merciful of creation to creation, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).

The questioner : O Allah, send blessings and peace upon him.

The Shaykh : He said: So after reviewing the evidence and clarifying it, a person says with his full mouth: the one who does not pray is a disbeliever, and there is no harshness in that, but the one who was harsh to himself is the one who abandoned prayer.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : What religion does he have after abandoning this great prayer, with its ease and simplicity? Yes.

The questioner : From al-Ja'alah, this message reached us from the listener L and W.
