Combining: “Pray for the one who said: There is no god but Allah,” and abandoning the prayer for the one who abandons prayer

Question:
Following this, a message was received for the program from the Arab Republic of Egypt, sent by the listener Ramadan Muhammad Sa'd. Brother Ramadan says: We know that the one who abandons prayer is a disbeliever, and among the things in which it is not permissible to deal with him is that it is not permissible to pray for him if he dies while abandoning prayer. There is a hadith whose meaning is: I ask for the reconciliation between this and that. May Allah reward you with good?

Answer:
The hadith mentioned: is a weak hadith, it is not authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). However, there are authentic hadiths in this chapter indicating that the people of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) have the ruling of Islam, but if they adhere to the right of "There is no god but Allah." The one who unites Allah is ruled to be a Muslim if he testifies that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; he is ruled to be a Muslim, but on the condition that he does not do anything that nullifies this Islam. For this reason, in the hadith: .
So the point is: if he brings the two testimonies, then brings a nullifier from the nullifiers of Islam, his Islam is nullified. So if he denies the obligation of prayer, or denies the prohibition of zina (unlawful sexual intercourse), or insults Allah and His Messenger; he is a disbeliever in the view of all, even if he says: There is no god but Allah.
So the point is: that he brings the two testimonies, and adheres to their meaning and their right, and does not bring a nullifier from the nullifiers of Islam. If he brings a nullifier; he is a disbeliever, and he is not prayed for, even if he says: There is no god but Allah. The hypocrites say: There is no god but Allah, and they are in the lowest depth of the Fire -we seek refuge in Allah- and the apostates who apostatized from Islam, many of them say: There is no god but Allah, but they disbelieved by their lying to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and their claim that if he were a messenger he would not have died. And so many of the people of apostasy say: There is no god but Allah, but they disbelieved by believing that Musaylimah is a prophet, or al-Mukhtari is a prophet, or the like of that.
So the result is: that the Muslim who unites Allah, who testifies that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, if he brings a nullifier from the nullifiers of Islam; he is a disbeliever, and becomes an apostate. For this reason, the scholars wrote in their books a chapter called the Chapter on the Ruling of the Apostate, and they mentioned in it the nullifiers of Islam by which a person becomes an apostate, even if he says: There is no god but Allah, and testifies that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Among these is if he denies the obligation of prayer, or denies the obligation of zakah (the obligatory alms), or denies the obligation of fasting Ramadan, or makes zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) permissible, or makes drinking khamr (intoxicants) permissible, or calls upon the dead and seeks aid from them, or calls upon the idols, or the stars, or mocks the religion. All of these are apostasy by which he is a disbeliever, even if he says: There is no god but Allah. Yes.
