YOGYAKARTA Performing the five-time fardhu prayer and fasting Ramadan must both be done by a Muslim who is mature and has common sense. However, there are still many people who fast Ramadan but do not pray even though the law of the two is mandatory even though prayers are punishable by higher obligations. This article will provide an explanation regarding this phenomenon.

As is known, fardhu prayers are the main worship that must be carried out. This service is not only obligatory in the month of Ramadan, but in all months. This means that prayers consisting of Fajr, Dzuhur, Ashar, Magrib, and Isha are the main worship that must be carried out every day.

In general, leaving Ramadan fasting and leaving the fardhu prayer for no correct reason is very not allowed. Even someone who leaves one or both will be considered infidels and infidels.

However, as reported by NU, the status of Ramadan fasting law for someone who leaves fasting is distinguished based on the conditions and reasons.

In the book Taqriratus Sadidah fi Masail Mufidah, Habib Hasan bin bin Ahmad Al-Kaff explains that there are two conditions for a person to leave the prayer, namely reneging on obligations and lazy reasons.

Muslims who fast and intend to leave the prayer for breaking their obligations are punished asifers. Meanwhile, Muslims who fast but do not pray because they are lazy or because there are certain conditions such as forgetting, these conditions are called muhbithat (corruptioning the reward of fasting).

This means that the Ramadan fasting carried out by the second category is still valid and not canceled, but damages the reward (not getting anything). The person is also not obliged to pay the fasting debt later (qadha).

The same thing is also explained in an article uploaded on the official website of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI). In the article, the South Sulawesi MUI Fatwa Commission explains that there are two views of scholars in responding to the fasting of someone who does not perform fardhu prayers.

First, fasting is considered invalid. This happens because all worship will be accepted only if someone performs the fardhu prayer according to the provisions. Meanwhile, in the second view, it is said that there is no connection between the pillars of fasting and the pillars of prayer.

This means that the fasting of Ramadan is still legitimate, but the reward will not be accepted because the fardhu prayer is the key to all nature. People who leave prayer will also get sin.

When a person leaves the prayer, there is no explanation of how to replace the worship. In contrast to leaving Ramadan fasting that can be replaced at other times or by paying fiddies. The only way to avoid sin because you have left the prayer is to perform taub and promise not to repeat it again.
