Is the marriage contract valid if the girl's father does not pray but is a monotheist?

If the wife's father prays sometimes and not others, his guardianship does not fall, and the marriage contract is valid, because he is a transgressor (fasiq) but his guardianship is valid. However, if he abandons prayer completely, then his guardianship is not valid, and it transfers to the next closest guardian, or to the Muslim ruler.
