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

\n\tAsalamu alaikum <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIs missing one Salah on purpose worse than murder? Or is the general abandonment of Salah worse than murder (as mentioned by Ibn Qayyim)?<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

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

\n\t\"Bismillah\"<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tPersonally, I have not come across the aforementioned statement of Imam Ibn Qayim \"ra\u1e25imahull\u0101h. However, the upshot of the statement is to show the severity of discarding the salah.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Prophet of Allah \"\u1e63allall\u0101hu said: “The covenant that stands between us and them is prayer; whoever gives it up is a disbeliever.” (Sunan Nasaai p.81 v.1, <\/strong>Sunan Tirmizi & Musnad Ahmad)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Zawahir sect have said that a person does become a kafir by missing his or her salah.   However, other scholars have said that the person has committed such an action, which has taken him close to leaving the fold of Islam. <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tImam Malik \"ra\u1e25imahull\u0101h and Imam Shafee \"ra\u1e25imahull\u0101h have said it is lawful to kill the person who misses his salah even though the person does not become a kafir.  Imam Abu Hanifah \"ra\u1e25imahull\u0101h is of the view that the person would not be killed nor will his actions constitute kufr rather he ought to be sent to jail until he starts reading salah.  (Mazaahirul Haqq p.506 v.1)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOnly Allah Knows Best<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
