1. Fasting Law but Leaving Prayer

Ramadan fasting is one of the pillars of Islam that must be observed by every Muslim. Fasting in the month of Ramadan has a very important position. However, what is the law if someone fasts but leaves the obligatory prayer without a valid reason?

Quoted from rumahzakat.org, Ustadz H. Agus Mukmin, Lc. M.Hum revealed that there are 2 laws for those who fast but leave the obligatory prayer.

First, if a person intentionally leaves the obligatory prayer during Ramadan because they consider it not obligatory, it is believed that such action can cause their fasting to be considered invalid.

Second, if someone leaves the obligatory prayer due to forgetfulness, it is believed that it will not invalidate the fasting being observed. However, it will only reduce the reward for the perfection of Ramadan fasting.

2. Responding to People who Fast but Do Not Pray

In line with the explanation above, in his lecture on the Al Bahjah YouTube channel, Buya Yahya expressed his views on people who fast but abandon obligatory prayers. Buya Yahya explained how a Muslim should behave when encountering other Muslims who fast but do not pray.

"Alhamdulillah if there are people who often abandon prayers but still fast. What's worse is not praying and not fasting. Hopefully, through fasting, they can perfect it with their prayers," said Buya Yahya.

However, Buya further explained that abandoning prayers is still a major sin. Nevertheless, Buya revealed that as ordinary humans, we should not judge or insultpeople whoabandon prayers. According to Buya, there is no perfect person in worship. Furthermore, Buya Yahya stated that fasting that is still observed could be a way for someone to establish prayer again, so it should be prayed for.

"Indeed, abandoning prayers has a great sin in the sight of Allah. So let us pray that we do not abandon prayers again," added Buya Yahya.
