Q: In a video I have heard a scholar say that if a person, whether a man or a woman, only prays namaaz during Ramadaan but does not pray the rest of the year is a Kafir. Is it true that if a person does not offer namaaz the whole year but only prays during the month of Ramadaan is a Kafir?
A: If he does not perform salaah due to weakness of Imaan but regards the omitting of salaah as a sin, he will not leave the fold of Islam.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
