Does committing immoral acts or abominations immediately after performing the prayer generally indicate that the prayer was not accepted?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Discussion based on knowledge and clear proof is permissible, but discussion based on whims and ignorance is not, as Allah Almighty says: "And that you say about Allah what you do not know." Complete prayer prohibits indecency and evil. Committing sins after prayer indicates its deficiency, not its non-acceptance. Prayer fulfills the obligation, but perfect reward is not attained if its rights are not fulfilled. Striving in prayer elevates its performer and protects him. Abandoning prayer is a greater sin than committing other transgressions.
