Summary
The fatwa states that the text about God sealing the heart of a person who misses Friday prayer three times shows the matter is very serious and must be addressed. Enforcement measures are regarded as falling under ta'zir punishment. Their form depends on the reasonable ijtihad of local scholars according to the circumstances of the community.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Saya berpendapat langkah yang digunakan lebih kepada kategori hukum ta'zir dan ijtihad ulama setempat yang munasabah pada keadaan mereka.
