The Lawfulness of Making Up the Festival Prayer from the Hadith of Abu 'Amir
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the hadith of Abu 'Amir, in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the Companions to pray the festival prayer the next day, does this indicate the lawfulness of making up the festival prayer?
Answer:
Yes, indeed, this is the subject of the hadith; this is the subject of the hadith. It is a point of contention, and this indicates that it is obligatory, that it is required. If it were a voluntary prayer, it would not have been made up, because its time had passed. Yes, and Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
