The Ruling on Making Up Missed Prayers Intentionally
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
His second point says: Shaykh, are missed prayers made up if I had intentionally left off these prayers, and now I have returned to my religion and to keeping up my prayers?
Answer:
The correct view is that if one leaves off the prayer intentionally, he does not make it up. He must repent to Allah the Exalted and keep up the prayer in the future, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan ad-Darimi 2:45 There is no expiation for it except that, and he did not mention the one who left it off intentionally, which indicates that he does not repeat it, but he repents to Allah, because leaving off the prayer intentionally takes one out of the religion, and it is apostasy, may Allah protect us from it. So he must repent to Allah and keep up the prayer in his future. Yes.

Whoever forgets a prayer or sleeps through it, let him pray it when he remembers it.
