Summary
Abandoning prayer is a major sin because prayer is one of the pillars of Islam. According to the Shafi’i school, a person who neglects it out of laziness without denying its obligation is classed as a sinner (fasiq), must repent and make up the missed prayers. As for reward, Allah takes into account other good deeds even as small as an atom's weight, based on surah al-Zalzalah. Nevertheless, some scholars hold that a person who deliberately abandons all obligatory prayers has none of their other righteous deeds accepted.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Menurut pandangan mazhab al-Syafi'i, individu yang meninggalkan solat kerana malas pada masa yang sama tidak mengingkari kewajipannya maka ia dikategorikan sebagai fasik dan hendaklah bertaubat serta menggantikannya.
