Honorable Shaykh! The questioner says: I am a young man. Before my rectification, I did not fast some of Ramadan. Before. Rectification. My rectification, not my resignation. No, he says rectification. From the job, meaning. Ha. No, he says rectification. His rectification, meaning his repentance. I am a young man. Before my rectification, I did not fast some of Ramadan, some. Ramadan, and likewise the prayer, I sometimes left it. So, do I have to make up these days that I did not fast, knowing that they are many and difficult?
Answer:
As for the matter of the large number and the difficulty, the consideration is regarding the presence of the prayer. If you do not maintain the prayer and you leave some of the prayers, then you are not upon Islam, even if you fast, your fasting is not valid, because the one who intentionally leaves the prayer exits from Islam. His saying (peace and blessings be upon him) So if you leave the prayer, even some of the prayers, intentionally, then your repentance is sufficient if you repent with a valid repentance. You enter Islam anew and you repent by maintaining the prayer and fasting in the future. As for what has passed, you do not make it up, because it went away with the apostasy, may Allah protect us from that. Yes.
