\n\tQuestion:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAssalaam alaikum,<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tI have heard a scholar saying that if a person abandons namaaz or salah he or she is a Kafir. He also said that if a person only prays during the month of Ramadaan but does not pray the rest of the year, he or she will be considered a kafir. My question is that we see many Muslims who only pray during Ramadaan, but do not pray after Ramadaan for the rest of the year.  So are they considered Kafir?<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tJazakAllah<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn response to your question; <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWe should be very careful when using the term ‘Kafir’ and not just label it unto anyone.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIf someone abandons Salah or any other Fardh act but still believes it to be a part of the religion then she\/he is still classified as a Muslim and not said to have gone out of the fold of Islam, rather it will be said that they have committed a grave sin.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAn emphasis will also be given to advise and counsel the person in question to rectify their ways and return to offering Salah. Someone who is in company of such a person should also remain cautious that this aspect of the other’s qualities does not rub off on them, as it is a well known fact that the company of an individual plays a major role in the shaping of one’s own life.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
