Will Allah forgive a Muslim who interrupts his prayer?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Neglecting prayer is among the greatest sins and major transgressions, exposing the one who abandons it to Allah's punishment in this world, in the (interim period between death and resurrection), and in the Hereafter. If a servant dies having abandoned prayer, he is under the will of Allah; He may punish him for his sin in the grave and the Hereafter, or He may forgive him. This is based on the consensus of the majority that one who abandons prayer out of laziness does not commit disbelief that expels him from the fold of Islam.
