Is a witness who is negligent in his prayers, sometimes abandoning them but not entirely, yet prays Friday prayers and fasts, considered an unrighteous person whose testimony is not accepted, or an apostate who has no testimony, especially according to those who consider justice a recommended matter in marriage contracts?

Some scholars are of the view that justice is not a condition for marriage witnesses, and the Hanafis do not consider the one who abandons prayer to be an apostate whose disbelief takes him out of the fold of Islam. Therefore, the testimony of one who is negligent in prayer is accepted by them due to his sinfulness, not his disbelief.
