Making up the prayers and fasts of an apostate after his repentance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Does an apostate have to make up the prayers and fasts he missed if he returns to Islam and repents from his apostasy?
Answer:
No, he does not have to do so, for repentance wipes out what came before it. So if he repents to Allah with a valid repentance, he does not make up what he left off during the period of his apostasy.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
