Making Up Missed Prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Shaykh, I have many missed prayers that I owe. How do I make them up, Shaykh? I am suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder. He has many missed prayers and asks: Do I have to make them up, Honorable Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
Yes, it is obligatory to make up the missed prayers if he did not intentionally abandon them; he did not intentionally abandon them.
The presenter:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The Shaykh:
If he forgot them or slept through them, he must make them up, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan ad-Darimi 2:45 He makes them up in order: the first day, then the second day, then the third day, until he is finished with them. Yes.
The questioner:
Some people think, Honorable Shaykh, that one should make up the missed prayer with every prayer one performs.
The Shaykh:
This is ignorance and has no basis. Rather, he should hasten to make them up. He prays them when he remembers them. There is no expiation for them other than that, and he does not spread them out. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
