Is My Fast Invalid Because I Don’t Pray?

Answered by Shaykh Yusuf Weltch

Question 

Is my fast invalid because I don’t pray?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate

Missing prayers during a fast do not affect the validity of the fast. The two are seen as separate issues that do not affect one another.

Hope this helps

Allah knows best
