Dear Brother / Sister,
It is fard to fulfill the orders of Allah; similarly, it is fard to avoid His prohibitions. Therefore, a person who does not fulfill His orders commits sins; similarly, a person who does not avoid His prohibitions commits sins.
A person who does not fulfill fard worshipping because he commits a sin commits two sins. In fact, if he fulfills fard worshipping, he will be saved from its punishment and he will decrease his sins.
The sins we commit should not prevent us from worshipping; this is a delusion of Satan. Besides, a person who thinks sins prevent fard worshipping had better give up committing sins instead of giving up fulfilling fard worship.
