A person who abandoned prayer for a period because the land he was on was usurped, and now wants to make up the prayers, how does he make them up?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A person abandoned prayer for a long period because the land he was on was usurped and it is not permissible to pray on it. He is now making up three prayers with every prayer. Should he continue doing this?

Answer:
Yes. He abandoned prayer for a long period without an excuse. If the land was usurped and he could not leave it because he was imprisoned, that is one thing. But if he could have left, he should have prayed. You say, "May Allah enable you," and you pray while on usurped land, on impure land. You pray on impure land, and that does not contradict the saying, "May Allah enable you." He erred in abandoning the prayer. Yes.
