The ruling on one who prays and fasts only in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The one who prays and fasts only in Ramadan, and then for the rest of the year prays only the Friday prayer?
Answer:
This is a disbeliever. The correct opinion among the scholars is that he is a disbeliever: the one who does not pray except only in Ramadan, or only on Fridays. He is a disbeliever without doubt:Sunan Ibn Majah 1079Sahih (Darussalam) narrated by Ahmad and the people of the Sunan with a sound chain. And in the hadith of Jabir in Muslim: And in the two Sahihs, when it was said: “O Messenger of Allah, regarding the rulers who deviate from the commands, should we not fight them?” He said: Sahih al-Bukhari 7055, 7056 Then he said in the other wording: Sahih Muslim 1855a This indicates that establishing prayer protects [one from disbelief], and abandoning prayer is called open disbelief that does not protect. We ask Allah for safety.

The covenant that distinguishes between us and them is prayer; so whoever leaves it, he has committed Kufr.
العهد الذي بيننا وبينهم الصلاة، فمن تركها فقد كفرBetween a man and disbelief and shirk (associating partners with Allah) is the abandonment of prayer.
بين الرجل وبين الكفر والشرك ترك الصلاةunless we noticed him having open Kufr (disbelief) for which we would have a proof with us from Allah
لا، إلا أن تروا كفرًا بواحًا عندكم من الله فيه برهانas long as they establish prayer among you
ما أقاموا فيكم الصلاة!
