The answer

The Hadith: "Do not intentionally abandon prayer, for whoever does so, the protection of Allah and the protection of His Messenger are disavowed from him." This was narrated by Al-Tabarani and deemed good by Al-Albani. Al-Bukhari mentioned the smashing of the head. I have reviewed fatwas: 74770, 98785, 79280, 43802, regarding the interpretation of the verse and the ruling on combining two prayers.
