Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. A young man had a period during which he was not maintaining the prayer or the fasting, and now he has repented to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). He asks about what passed of his life in that period: does he have to make up the fasting and prayer he missed, or does his repentance expiate what came before it? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
His repentance expiates what came before it, if Allah wills. He must maintain the prayer and the matters of his religion in the future of his life. Allah accepts the repentance of whoever repents, and he does not have to make up the missed acts.
