The Ruling on Making Up Missed Prayers After Repentance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: In my youth, Shaykh, when I reached puberty, I was negligent in performing the prayer. I would pray at one time and leave another. Praise be to Allah, He granted me guidance, and I have maintained it at its times and in congregation. Do I have to make up what I left?
Answer:
If the prayers you left are many, and then you repented to Allah with a sincere repentance, then the repentance is sufficient by your maintaining the prayer in your life and repenting to Allah for what came before. You seek forgiveness, and this is sufficient, if Allah wills. Yes.
