What is the ruling on one who delays the prayer and prays it as a make-up?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : We conclude this session, Honorable Shaykh, with a question from one of the brothers who used the initials J.A. from Jazan. He says: What is the ruling on one who delays the prayer from its time and prays it as a make-up with the other obligatory prayer, without an excuse? I ask you to provide us with information.

Answer : The ruling is that his prayer is invalid and not correct, and it is not accepted from him, by the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He. Yes, it is not accepted from him.
By the saying of Allah the Exalted:
So whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord - let him do righteous work and not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone."فَمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو لِقَاءَ رَبِّهِ فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَلَا يُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِ أَحَدًا
[Al-Kahf 18:110]
And this one who delays the prayer from its time without an excuse has not done a righteous deed.
By the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family):
He who did any act for which there is no sanction from our behalf, that is to be rejected.من عمل عملا ليس عليه أمرنا فهو رد
Sahih Muslim 1718b
And the one who prays the obligatory prayer after its time has passed without an excuse has done a deed that is not in accordance with the command of Allah and His Messenger, so it is rejected. And I say to this man: Fear Allah in yourself, do not bring sin upon yourself, and perhaps the heart will be sealed, and I seek refuge in Allah, due to the accumulation of sins upon him until he does not know what is right and does not know what is wrong. We ask Allah for safety and well-being. Thank you, Honorable Shaykh, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge, and benefit the Muslims through you.
