The Obligation of Making Up the Festival Prayer for One Who Missed It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If we say that the festival prayer is an individual obligation, is it obligatory for one who missed it to make it up?
Answer:
There is no report that it is made up. As for the obligation, we do not say that it is obligatory, because it was fulfilled by those who performed it before. It is recommended that it be made up, as you heard, for one who missed it or part of it, to make it up in its proper form. This is a matter of recommendation, not obligation.
