The Ruling on Making Up Missed Prayers Due to Negligence
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
After reaching the age of maturity, I abandoned the prayer out of negligence for twenty days. He says: I have repented to Allah. Am I required to make them up, and how do I make them up if that is the case?
Answer:
If you abandoned it out of laziness, you must make it up, and it is not a great amount, twenty days or so. But if you abandoned it in denial of the prayer, denying that the prayer is obligatory, then that is apostasy. You must enter Islam anew and repent anew, and you do not make up what was missed. Yes.
