Expiation for Intentionally Abandoning Prayer and Fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. May this questioner be blessed. Honorable Shaykh, if a person is negligent regarding prayer, fasting, and dutifulness to his parents, and he wants to search and wants to repent, but he is standing firm in returning to that, why is advice given to such people?
Answer:
As for fasting, he must make it up. If he left any part of the fasting, he must make it up by fasting Ramadan. As for prayer, if he abandoned it intentionally, he must repent to Allah and maintain the prayer in the future of his life. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: That is what was mentioned, and the one who did it intentionally was not mentioned. For the one who did it intentionally, making it up is not sufficient; rather, he must repent and maintain the prayer.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
