Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: Allah has bestowed His favor upon me, and I started praying from the beginning of the month, praise be to Allah, and I am maintaining this great obligation. But Shaykh, regarding making up the missed prayers from before, I used to pray and then abandon it. Do I pray these missed prayers?
Answer:
You must repent to Allah. You do not make up the many missed prayers, but you repent to Allah and maintain the prayer in the future. If you repent to Allah and maintain your prayer in the future, Allah will accept your repentance, and you do not make up what was missed. Yes.
