If you check out the following fatwa:


Ruling on making up missed prayers


you will see it reads (in part):

When you miss a prayer deliberately: This is a major sin, and it is so serious that some of the scholars stated that the one who does this is a kaafir.

Obviously, kaafirs aren't Muslim. So according to Islamic law, then, any muslim who deliberately misses a prayer is guilty of apostasy and is no longer considered to be a muslim.


The penalty for apostasy, according to Islamic law, is death. So, yes, it would appear that Mohammad believed that people who deliberately miss even one prayer are guilty of a crime punishable by death.
