Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A man who does not pray.
The Shaykh : A Muslim who does not pray. How do you say a Muslim who does not pray? You say a Muslim who does not pray; this is a contradiction.
The questioner : He believes he is a Muslim... but he married a woman...?
The Shaykh : That means he is an apostate and she is an apostate. The one who does not pray is an apostate according to the stronger position.
The questioner : He believes that the one who abandons prayer does not become a disbeliever.
The Shaykh : But if he comes to a person who believes that the one who abandons prayer is a disbeliever, the marriage is not contracted for him.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, the marriage is valid as long as he believed it to be a marriage; it is valid.
The questioner :"And if one of them becomes a Muslim after the consummation, the matter is suspended until the waiting period ends. If the other becomes a Muslim during that time, the marriage continues; otherwise, its annulment is established from the time the first one became a Muslim.
And if they disbelieve, or one of them does so after the consummation of the marriage, the matter is suspended until the completion of the waiting period, and before that it is invalid .
