The Ruling on Cursing Allah or the Religion and Repenting from It

Question:
You say: What is the ruling on one who curses the religion, or curses the Lord, at one of the hours, and when the time for prayer arrives, he performs wudu' and prays the obligatory prayer? Is performing the obligatory prayer at that time considered a declaration of repentance?

Answer:
Cursing the religion and cursing the Lord is a great apostasy. I say: a great apostasy from Islam—may we seek refuge in Allah. It is obligatory for the one who does that to hasten with repentance, regret, and abandoning it. Prayer is not sufficient, because prayer is not enough. Rather, it is necessary to have sincere repentance, regret for what occurred from him, and a sincere resolve not to return to it. This is because the crime is great, so it is not permissible for him to be lax in this matter. Rather, he must hasten with repentance. Its reality is regret for the past from him, true regret, and sadness for what occurred from him, and a sincere resolve not to return to it. Before he does this, his prayer is not valid, because it is the prayer of a disbeliever. So repentance is necessary before the prayer. Yes.
