1. The one who stops performing As-Ṣalāh due to denying its obligation:
If he is ignorant about the issue, then he is informed. Subsequently if he persists on rejecting its
obligation, he is a disbeliever, belying Allah Almighty His Messenger (may the peace and blessings of

prayer; so whosoever leaves it has disbelieved.” Also his saying: “Indeed between a man and shirk and
