The ruling on one who prays at times and leaves off prayer at other times
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The one who leaves off some times and prays at others?
Answer:
It is like the one who leaves it all off; the one who leaves it off at some times is like the one who leaves it all off. Some people pray when a guest comes to them, or when they are with people, but if they are in their home or in another place, they do not pray. This person is also a disbeliever; because he does not care about the prayer, nor does he take it seriously. Or he prays Maghrib and 'Isha' but does not pray Zuhr and 'Asr, or he does not pray Fajr, or he only prays Jumu'ah. All of these are among the types of disbelievers—we seek refuge in Allah—the hadith and the noble verses apply to them.
