Reward of a person who gives sadaqah but misses his fardh salaah

· 7 Jumada I 1448 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If a person doesn't offer the 5 daily prayers but they give sadaqah, will Allah accept their sadaqah?

Answer

His not performing the fardh salaah will definitely impact on the reward of other good deeds. Hence, the full reward of sadaqah will not be acquired.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
