Mistakes to avoid during Ramadan

*4. Fasting but not Praying*

*One very common misconception among those who do not pray regularly or even at all, especially during Ramadan, is that fasting and prayer are two acts of worship not related to each other. This is wrong.* 

*Accordingly to the majority scholarly view, fasting will not be accepted if one does not pray and this is based on the hadith :*

*The Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ)said: “Whoever does not pray ‘Asr, his good deeds will be annulled.” (Al-Bukhaari 520)*

*Futhermore, intentionally leaving the prayer constitutes Kufr.*

*"And the Prophet (ﷺ)said: “Between a man and shirk and kufr stands his giving up prayer.” ( Muslim, 82.)* 

*And he (ﷺ) said: “The covenant that separates us from them is prayer; whoever gives up prayer is a kaafir.” (al-Tirmidhi, 2621)* 

*" 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 (ﷺ) 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 not accepted(rejected), and it will not avail him anything before Allah azzawajaal on the Day of Resurrection. We say to him: Pray then fast, because if you fast but you do not pray, then your fast will be void"
