Is it advisable for males to do salat properly before doing umrah?

Question:

Assalamualaikum
a lot of males in my extended families are being peer pressured to do umrah. however they do not perform five daily fard prayers properly. some live opposite mosques but do not go to the mosques to do their prayers.

Answer:

Waalaikumussalam warahmatullah. 

They may come back pure and worshipful from the House of Allah so let them go if they can. Failure to fulfill one obligation does not preclude fulfillment of another.
