Does
one who does not fast become a disbeliever (kaafir)?
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: Is the one who does not fast, even though
he is not ill or anything, become a kaafir, despite performing
his (obligatory) prayers?
Response:
One who does not fast because he rejects it's obligation then
he is a kaafir by concensus. As for one who does not fast
because he is lazy and negligent then he does not become a
kaafir, however he is in great danger due to his leaving off
a pillar from the pillars of Islaam upon which their obligation
has been agreed.
And
with Allaah lies all the success, and may Allaah send prayers
and salutations upon our Prophet Muhammad (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam)
and his family and his companions.
