What is the jurisprudential interpretation of the case of a 35-year-old man who has never prayed in his life, has not read the Quran, but has memorized parts of it through listening, and what are the guidelines after he prayed one prayer, with the fear of him abandoning prayer thereafter?
This young man is disobedient and in grave danger for abandoning a pillar of the religion, which is prayer. His not praying despite memorizing the Qur’an through radio is strange. Therefore, it is necessary to sit with him and study his situation. It is advised to follow up with him, inquire about his condition, counsel him, and connect him with righteous people to help and strengthen him in steadfastness.
