How is the one who abandons prayer to be treated?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If you cut off the one who abandons prayer... is there sin in that?
The Shaykh : There is no sin in it, not at all, regarding the one who abandons prayer, because he must be executed. However, he is not like the original disbeliever. The original disbeliever is treated with kindness toward his kinship, but the one who abandons prayer must be executed. He is not left to remain, meaning... you place... and food so that he dies, or is it better to kill him with the sword? Where is he again? Allah is the Helper.
