Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Abandoning prayer is one of the greatest sins and major transgressions. Some scholars even consider one who intentionally abandons it to be a disbeliever. Likewise, praying without ritual purity is a major transgression. Therefore, one must hasten to sincere repentance from these sins and adhere to Allah's law, as it is the way to facilitate matters and achieve benefits in this world and the Hereafter, in accordance with His saying, the Almighty: "And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him ease in his affair." (At-:5), while also being keen on keeping company with the righteous.
