Is it true that the faster Ramadan is not accepted by Allah if one
does not pray the obligatory Salah. So there's a big difference
between validity and reward. An act can be valid, because you did
all the outward requirements of the act. That doesn't mean you got
the reward of it. I can, in fact, be sinful to, I can do my full
prayer and leave with sins. But my salah is valid, like what? Imagine
you walk into a room and you start praying, then suddenly, by
accident, the cat hits the TV and the TV Turns On now the entire
prayer, you prayed it properly with your body, but your eyes was
on the TV, your ears on the TV, and you're like following what's
happening on the TV intentionally. So you physically did everything
required. Nobody could say that your prayer is invalid. But
between you and Allah, you know that you were paying attention to
the TV the whole time. So you may actually walk away from that valid
prayer with more since same thing with the sisters asking here, a
person fast but they don't pray. This is a confused person who
needs help, because it's much easier to pray than to fast. And
I'll tell you the solution to this person.
