The answer

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.
