Does committing immoral acts or abominations immediately after performing the prayer generally indicate that the prayer was not accepted?
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.
