Is it lawful to hate and abstain from greeting those who do not pray?
Q: I hate those who do not offer Salah (Prayer) and I do not like to greet them. Is this permissible or not?
A: According to all scholars, whoever denies the obligation of Salah is Kafir (disbeliever) and whoever abstains from offering Salah due to laziness is also Kafir according to the soundest of two views by scholars. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "The covenant that distinguishes between us and them (non-Muslims, disbelievers, hypocrites) is Salah. Anyone who abandons it is a Kafir." He (peace be upon him) also said, "Verily, between a man and Shirk (associating others with Allah in His Divinity or worship) and Kufr (disbelief) is the negligence of prayer."
A person who abandons Salah has committed a major sin. Some scholars see that he is a Kafir even if he is lazy to offer Salah. It is obligatory upon all Muslims to abandon those who do not offer Salah. They should also disapprove of their actions and warn them against the consequences of their actions. The rulers should ask such people to repent; otherwise they should be killed.
