Making Up Missed Prayers, Whether Intentionally or by Forgetfulness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you. This questioner asks, saying: Honorable Shaykh, some of my prayers have been missed from me, some intentionally and some by forgetfulness. Is it permissible for me to pray the obligatory prayer with every obligatory prayer, or is repentance sufficient?
Answer:
It is obligatory to make them up. You must make up the missed prayers in order, immediately, unless you left them off intentionally. If you left them off intentionally and you are a disbeliever, and making them up would be a hardship, then repentance and maintaining the prayer in the future is sufficient. However, if you left them off due to forgetfulness or sleep, then you must make them up. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan ad-Darimi 2:45 There is no expiation for it except that. Yes.
