The Ruling on Making Up Missed Prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding the prayers you have left behind, do you make up the missed prayers, or is repentance and continuing to perform the prayers at their appointed times sufficient?
Answer:
There is no doubt that if you left the prayer due to forgetfulness or sleep, you must make it up. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan ad-Darimi 2:45 As for the one who left it intentionally, the apparent meaning of the hadith is that he does not make it up. However, he must repent to Allah and enter Islam anew, because the one who leaves the prayer intentionally is a disbeliever, may Allah protect us from that. He must repent to Allah, perform the prayer after his repentance, and be consistent in maintaining it. The scholars differ on whether he makes up what he left intentionally or not; there are two opinions. Yes.

Whoever forgets a prayer or sleeps through it, let him pray it when he remembers it. There is no expiation for it other than that.
