Making Up Missed Obligatory and Voluntary Prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: I hope you will answer my question regarding making up the missed prayers that I used to leave off at the beginning of my life.
The Shaykh:
There is no making up of voluntary prayers. If voluntary prayers are missed, they are not made up, except for the regular voluntary prayer of Fajr; if a person is occupied and misses it, he makes it up after the sun has risen. Yes.
The questioner:
And if this person has left off the obligatory prayers for years of his life, he says: I want to make up for it now and pray them, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
No, he repents to Allah, and he maintains the obligatory prayers in the future of his life, and what has passed, Allah forgives it through repentance. Yes.
