Ruling on Giving Zakah to One Who Abandons Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Q170: The questioner asks: Is it permissible to give zakah to one who abandons prayer or is lax in it?
A170: It is not permissible to give zakah to one who intentionally abandons prayer; because he is a disbeliever, and zakah is not valid for a disbeliever. It is only given to poor Muslims.
