Summary
An animal slaughtered by a person who does not perform prayer is valid and lawful to eat. This applies as long as the person has not left Islam through apostasy, meaning rejecting all the teachings of Islam. The fatwa lists the conditions for a slaughterer: being a Muslim or a valid person of the Book, and not slaughtering in the name of anyone other than Allah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, sembelihan yang dilakukan oleh lelaki yang tidak menunaikan solat adalah sah dan halal dimakan.
