Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect them):
Abandoning prayer, although it is a sin, does not invalidate the fast. Therefore, if a person neglects prayer during Ramadan or at any other time, their fast remains valid.
May you be successful in all good.
