Summary
Deliberately leaving prayer is forbidden and a major sin, even if the person intends to make it up afterwards. The fatwa notes that some scholars judge the one who does so to be outside Islam or a disbeliever, and that leaving prayer out of laziness is also a trait of the hypocrites. If it has already happened, the person is advised to repent promptly, must make up the prayer, regret the act and not repeat it.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sesungguhnya perbuatan meninggalkan solat secara sengaja adalah haram dan berdosa besar.
