The questioner : What is your esteemed opinion regarding a wife who delays the prayer beyond its time, or prays one obligatory prayer and does not pray the rest, and when we advise her, we find refusal from her? Please inform us, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : We say that this woman is in great danger, because some scholars say that whoever intentionally leaves one prayer until its time has passed is a disbeliever. So she is in great danger. It is obligatory for her to pray all the prayers in their times, all the obligatory ones. It is not permissible for her to pray some and leave some, so that she becomes one of those who believed in part of the Book and disbelieved in part. Yes.
