Is it permissible to stop praying during the honeymoon due to frequent intercourse, and is that considered forbidden?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Abandoning prayer is a major sin, whether during a honeymoon or at any other time, because the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Between a man and disbelief is the abandonment of prayer." Prayer is never permitted to be abandoned, even during jihad against the enemy. The one who abandons prayer must be killed according to the majority of scholars, and they differed on his disbelief, holding two opinions.
