What is the ruling on one who slept through the festival prayer and did not pay the alms given at the end of Ramadan?

Question : The questioner says: What about one who slept through the festival prayer and did not pray it, and did not pay the alms given at the end of Ramadan? Does he owe anything?

Answer : Yes, he owes something. If one slept through the festival prayer and did not pray it, and he did so intentionally, without caring about it, then he is sinful, because the correct view is that the festival prayer is an individual obligation for men, and that whoever misses it without a valid legal excuse is sinful. As for the alms given at the end of Ramadan, it is likewise an obligation, as Abdullah ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) said: It is obligatory . He has to pay it, meaning the alms. However, if he intentionally leaves it off until the people have prayed the festival prayer, his obligation is not discharged by that; rather, it is as stated in the hadith: What is it?
