The ruling on making up the prayer for one who abandoned it intentionally

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. One of the common people asked me about a relative of his who did not pray for a week without an excuse, so I warned him of this heinous act and informed him that it is obligatory for him to make up the prayers as a precaution. Is my statement correct?

Answer:
No, the correct view is that he owes no making up of the prayers if he intentionally abandoned the prayer; making them up does not clear his conscience. However, he must repent to Allah and maintain the prayer in the future. Yes.
