معاملة تارك الصلاة في الدولة الإسلامية في ضوء القرآن والسنة

الملخص EN

The Ulama have not come to a consensus regarding judging the one who does not pray under the rule of the Islamic state.

some stated that he / she is a disbeliever, but he / she can be asked to repent, and if they do not pray after that, they will be executed as apostates.

others said that he / she is not a disbeliever; they are disobedient, but he / she can be asked to repent, and if they do not pray after that, they will be executed as though they transgressed the bounds (Huddud) of Allah.

other opinions stated that those who do not pray are regarded as disobedient, and can be asked to repent, and if they do not pray after that, the Muslim ruler can judge beating them until they bleed, and if they still refuse to pray, they should be imprisoned until they die or pray; some other Ulamas supported beating them 10 times, and if they do not pray, they should be beaten other 10 times until they pray or die (death, here, is not the judgment).

in the same context, other Ulamas reiterated their support for imprisonment, but not beating.

however, some Ulamas stated that those who do not pray are not disbelievers and must not be punished, and their affair should be left to the almighty Allah, who is the best judge, similar to the other sins committed by the Muslims.

the researcher and after studying the four schools of Islam and its evidence about this issue concluded that the most prevalent and authentic decision is not judging the one who does not pray as a disbeliever and even not punishing them for the lack of evidence in his respect.
