Question :

What is the Islamic punishment for the one who neglects prayer?



 


The Answer :

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.

 

Neglecting the prayer (Salah) is among the major sins (Al-Kaba’ir). One who neglects it out of laziness is considered a transgresor (Fasiq), while one who neglects it while denying its obligation is a disbeliever (Kafir). And Allah the Exalted knows best.
