No doubt, some Muslims only fast without observing solat. Will there fasting be accepted?

Praise be to Allah.

No good deeds will be accepted from one who does not pray – no zakaah, no fasting, no Hajj or anything else.

Al-Bukhaari (520) narrated that Buraydah said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever does not pray ‘Asr, his good deeds will be annulled.”

What is meant by “his good deeds will be annulled” is that they will be rendered invalid and will be of no benefit to him. This hadeeth indicates that Allaah will not accept any good deed from one who does not pray, so the one who does not pray will not benefit at all from his good deeds and no good deed of his will be taken up to Allaah.

It seems from the hadeeth that there are two types of those who do not pray: those who do not pray at all, which annuls all their good deeds, and those who do not offer a particular prayer on a particular day, which annuls the good deeds of that day. So annulment of all good deeds happens to those who forsake all the prayers, and annulment of the good deeds of a particular day happens to the one who omits a particular prayer.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen was asked in Fataawa al-Siyaam (p. 87) about the ruling on the fasting of one who does not pray.

He replied:

The fast of one who does not pray is not valid and is not accepted, because the one who does not pray is a kaafir and an apostate, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“But if they repent [by rejecting Shirk (polytheism) and accept Islamic Monotheism], perform As-Salaah (Iqaamat-as-Salaah) and give Zakaah, then they are your brethren in religion”

[al-Tawbah 9:11]

And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Between a man and shirk and kufr stands his giving up prayer.” Narrated by Muslim, 82. And he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The covenant that separates us from them is prayer; whoever gives up prayer is a kaafir.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2621; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.

This is also the view of most of the Sahaabah, if not their consensus. ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Shaqeeq (may Allaah have mercy on him), who was one of the well-known Taabi’een, said: The companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not think that omitting any action made a person a kaafir, except for prayer. Based on this, if a person fasts but he does not pray, then his fast is rejected and not accepted, and it will not avail him anything before Allaah on the Day of Resurrection. We say to him: Pray then fast, because if you fast but do not pray, then your fast will be rejected, because acts of worship are not accepted from a kaafir.

The Standing Committee (10/140) was asked: if a person is keen to fast in Ramadaan and to pray in Ramadaan only, but he stops praying as soon as Ramadaan is over, does his fasting count?

They replied:

Prayer is one of the pillars of Islam, and it is the most important pillar after the Shahaadatayn. It is an individual obligation (fard ‘ayn), and whoever does not do it because he denies that it is obligatory, or he does not do it because he is careless and lazy, is a kaafir. With regard to those who fast Ramadaan and pray in Ramadaan only, this is trying to cheat Allaah, and unfortunate indeed are those who only acknowledge Allaah in Ramadaan. Their fasting is not valid if they do not pray at times other than Ramadaan, rather this makes them kaafirs in the sense of major kufr (kufr akbar), even if they do not deny that prayer is obligatory, according to the more sound of the two scholarly opinions.

The easiest fasting in life is Ramadan. Just skip lunch and you're good.

Where are these slaves of allah

Breadandpeppers:

Allah says
يريد الله بكم اليسر و لا يريد بكم العسر
Meaning: Allah intends for you ease and he does not want to make things difficult for you

So even if we are prescribed 1-½-1 that's what we will do

Why are Christians envious of Muslims?
They will never comment on their thread but rush to the Muslim thread to exhibit their ignorance

Meanwhile, They said Islam for Muslims yet many of you fools will still come here to post rubbish.

You've not finished removing the log of wood in your eyes...


You will take an oath as to being a Muslim just because you want to post rubbish. You will even be calling out Seun to remove the oath as if Nairaland is your father land. If you're not okay with it, can't you just fuçk off or pass.

You fools will just be bringing curses to your generations, if una life problem start now, you people will start blaming village People.

Why would one even not observe solat in the first place not to talk of during Ramadan

Sackk12:
Zhsb

U accepted being a Muslim just to post about betting....lolz.

You lack business ideas,to be be honest with u.

On Ordinary days it's not allowed for Muslims to bet although some so do it;it's Ramadan period u choose to do ur advert.In this month,even the Muslims that bet try to avoid.
The ones that don't pray ,try to pray this period.

U need to get a job,because this one no be work.My candid advice.

Sollat is done daily and not during Ramadan alone.Once u fail to perform Sollat daily,u will find it difficult to be up to date during Ramadan.

Anyone who doesn't perfom sollat daily may still miss most of it during Ramadan.Although some try to meet up bt the percentage is not encouraging.May Almighty Allah continue to guide us and make Ibadah easy for us.

Religion will make you think that God is watching everyone at every time..
Without fact, just have the believe- that's religion for you.

Why follow Mohammed who owned slaves

Vol 5 Book 59 -Hadith 541
and at that time Allah's Messenger had a slave called Mid`am

Compare with Jesus who came to set us free

John 8:36
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed

Luke 4:18
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor;
he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives,
and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

Stop making Islam so tedious in the faces of Christians. That's why I like Christians I just can't convert ni. With this, you can't win a single soul to Islam and I beginning to believe that those who converted to Muslim was done using force or some kind of juju because no one will hear all this and would still wanna join. I'm a Muslim, when I'm in my shop, I can't leave it and go to pray because of my customers, are you saying I should not bother to fast at all? Bullshit! Anything quote outside Qur'an, I won't accept it be it from whoever said it. Bullshit!

HeavenVGate:

skipping prayer because of customers typical Yoruba Muslim. You like Christianity but you can't convert? Hahahaha stop stressing yourself, by mere liking it, you have already converted. Oga you are an apostate. Better start going to church on Sundays to cement your new found belief.

This is not true, the reward is what will "likely" not complete according to some scholars, but no one actually knows if it will be complete or not except Allah SWT. Stop passing wrong information and stop making Islam hard. Every muslim knows Solat is far'd just like Ramadan fast.

That doesn't mean we should be using fanatism to make Islam hard for those that are trying to stand well on their feet in term of the religion.
U may pass mathematics and fail geography, that doesn't mean with continuous trial u won't later do well in geography too.
Fanatism brings no peace to the society. Islam is a religion of peace.
Allah knows the best.

Ok

Shut up! You're saying rubbish. Go back to your Alfa who taught you that, that every shit he taught was all rubbish and you were just getting to know right now. In case you don't know, fasting isn't really compulsory but I know your empty headed Alfa won't tell you that. What the fasting really trying to achieve is abtrain from sin not for us to go hungry really. Stop saying rubbish, if you don't know, you keep quiet ok!

What is the need fasting when u dnt have food to eat at the end of the fasting for each day? Its frustrating. I need help.

and who even said you will be questioned? Talkless of stopping you. I already know you are a Yoruba Muslim from your post, because most of you are just Religious hypocrites. You will never announce moon sighting or lead others in prayers.
