Making up missed prayers before Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The colleague, the producer, was telling us to continue the conversation with you. Honorable Shaykh, in a few minutes, he says: Honorable Shaykh, I was negligent in maintaining my prayers, and then the blessed month of Ramadan came, and I began, praise be to Allah, to maintain all the obligatory prayers. I had left some prayers before Ramadan. Do I make up my prayer and repeat the prayers I left?
Answer:
My brother, your deliberate abandonment of the prayers is disbelief. So you must repent to Allah with a sincere repentance and maintain the prayer in the future. As for what has passed, do not make it up, but maintain the prayer in the future. If your repentance in Ramadan is with the intention of continuing, then it is a sincere repentance. But if it is temporary, only for Ramadan, then it is a rejected repentance and it will not benefit you with Allah. Yes.
