Question:
I used to be a young man who did not pray, but Allah accepted my repentance, and I have been consistent with the obligatory prayers. Do I have to make up what I left off in the past, or should I continue with worship and increase in it?
Answer:
Yes, you make up what was missed from the past in order, if that is possible. If the prayers are numerous and would take you a long time, then repent to Allah and be consistent with prayer in the future. However, if you are able to make up the prayers because they are not numerous, it is obligatory for you to make them up in order. Yes.
