Fasting is not accepted if one doesn’t pray

In Urdu that is called "Kasl-e-Tabai" and it does not make you kafir. In Surah Maoon, Allah says about munafiqeen: ** Who are neglectful of their prayers**. This is not the Kasl-e-Tabai or laziness. Its the "Kasl-e-Eitiqadi" or the denial in faith that Allah is pointing and pushes one to kufr.

I think all of you were talking about the same thing all the time, but from different perspectives.

i meant, he is lazy or miser when it comes to this matter....
but does believe that Hajj is fardh....

most ppl who r lazy in prayers very well know about the obligation of prayers....
and some might even have a fair amount of knowledge about the rewards/punishments associated to prayers....

believing that a certain 'pillar' of Islam is not fardh, takes one to kufr....
being lazy in the action, is a different category i think....

I usually like the website Swera had quoted from but for some reason, this fatwa doesnt sound true but weak. It would be interesting perhaps to find out about it. But thanks for posting Sis :slight_smile:
