Ruling on a girl marrying a man who does not pray
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is it permissible for a girl who is committed to her religion to marry a man who does not pray, provided she intends to call him to worship so that she may earn reward and merit?
Answer: If he does not pray, she is not allowed to marry him. The one who does not pray is a disbeliever; a disbeliever does not marry a Muslim woman. Abandoning prayer is major shirk (associating partners with Allah), may Allah keep us safe. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):, and his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): Sunan Ibn Majah 1079Sahih (Darussalam), and his saying (peace be upon him): Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2616Hasan (Darussalam). And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says: [al-Baqarah:43], and He (Exalted and Majestic is He) says: [al-Baqarah:238], and He (Glorified and Exalted is He) says: [al-Bayyinah:5]. Therefore, the one who does not pray is not one she may marry. If she is with him, she must separate from him, go back to her family, and leave him until he repents or divorces her. May Allah keep us safe and sound.
The presenter: O Allah, amen, may Allah reward you with good.

Between a man and disbelief and shirk (associating partners with Allah) is the abandonment of prayer.
بين الرجل وبين الكفر والشرك ترك الصلاةThe 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 كفرThe head of the matter is Islam, and its pillar is the Salat
رأس الأمر الإسلام وعموده الصلاةAnd establish prayer and give zakah
وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَMaintain with care the [obligatory] prayers and [in particular] the middle prayer
حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلاةِ الْوُسْطَىAnd they were not commanded except to worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion, inclining to truth, and to establish prayer and to give zakah. And that is the correct religion.
وَمَا أُمِرُوا إِلَّاا لِيَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ حُنَفَاءَ وَيُقِيمُوا الصَّلاةَ وَيُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَذَلِكَ دِينُ الْقَيِّمَةِThe presenter: O Allah, amen, may Allah reward you with good.
