Procrastination in Acts of Worship
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Our honorable Shaykh, Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan, some people procrastinate in all their matters, both creedal and practical. We advised them to take advantage of opportunities for acts of worship, devotion, and voluntary deeds, but they say, “I will do it, if Allah wills. I will do it.” They procrastinate in this.
Answer:
Procrastinating in this is not permissible. It is obligatory to hasten to do good before it is lost, before the term of life arrives. A person should hasten through his life in obedience to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and present what benefits him with Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
