He will not be sinful. He may pray as much as he wants. It is loved by Allah to continue it but it is not a sin if he doesn’t.

I stopped going to the mosque as I noticed when I attend regularly I feel a deviation in my heart and I feel lost in my Deen. The mosque is one where mawlid, urs, etc. is celebrated. It happens when I’m out of town for 2-3 days. Then my heart gets settled again and I know again what is good and what is not. Please advise me. I read your article on tricks of Shaitan but I still feel something in my heart.

Prayer
