Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Abu Ibrahīm, says: Shaykh, in the past I used to leave behind some obligatory prayers. But now, praise be to Allah, I have committed to performing them at their times with the Muslim congregation. As for the obligatory prayers I left behind in my childhood, after I reached puberty, do I have to make them up?
Answer:
If they were many, you do not make them up. You must repent and maintain the prayer in the future. However, if they were few and you are able to make them up, then you make them up in order. This is the view of the majority of the scholars. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
