Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: You mentioned that ignorance does not drop the obligation, but only drops the sin.
Answer:
Yes. If you were ignorant that the 'Asr prayer is obligatory and you did not pray it, does the 'Asr prayer drop from you? No, the obligation does not drop, but the sin drops because you were ignorant. You delayed it and did not perform it in its time. So when you learn, you make it up, and the sin drops from you. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
