Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person is afflicted with abandoning the Friday prayers for long periods, does this renew his Islam, or is he judged by a specific ruling?
Answer:
Answer: He must repent to Allah and maintain the Friday prayer. Whoever repents, Allah accepts his repentance. Abandoning the Friday prayer entails a great sin, but he does not become a disbeliever on account of it; rather, he commits a sin. Therefore, he should repent to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and maintain the Friday prayer.
