What is the ruling in this case?\\n\"}]}","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"Yes, they are still Muslim, inshāʾa Allah. Even though neglecting prayer is a major sin, sins themselves do not expel a person from Islam. Apostasy occurs when someone denies what is known by necessity to be part of the religion — such as rejecting the obligation of the five daily prayers or denying that Allah is One without partners. As long as they still acknowledge the obligation, leaving it out of weakness or negligence is disobedience, not disbelief.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe30b76658b4c23281e","tag":"Salah: Other","count":138},{"_id":"668d9ff70b76658b4c232a7b","tag":"Worship: Sins","count":100},{"_id":"668d9fea0b76658b4c2328ed","tag":"Salah: Missed & Make-Up","count":92},{"_id":"668d9fec0b76658b4c23292a","tag":"Salah: Jummah","count":41}],"createdOn":"2025-10-02T16:45:02.197Z"}
