Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect him) and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei (may God protect him):
One who abandons prayer is considered disobedient but is still deemed a Muslim. Killing a Muslim is one of the gravest prohibitions in Islamic law, as is the killing of anyone whose blood is sacred.
