The Ruling on Making Up Missed Prayers on Behalf of the Deceased

The questioner:
If a person dies in his deathbed illness and was unable to perform the obligatory prayers due to his inability, are they made up for him after his death?

The Shaykh:
Some people make a mistake in this, like the owner of the eggs. In the gathering, some people, when they fall ill, are lax in prayer and do not pray, saying, "When I recover, I will make them up." This is a mistake; he may die in the hospital. This is a mistake, and it is obligatory for him to pray according to his condition. Whether standing, sitting, on his side, or lying on his back, as you heard in the lecture, he does what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. If he is unable to use water, he prays with dry ablution. If he prays with dry ablution, and if he does not pray according to his condition, even if his clothes are impure, or if he prays while impure, he prays according to his condition. So fear Allah as much as you are able. If he can perform ablution, he performs it; if he can perform dry ablution, he performs it. If he can change his clothes, he changes them. If he can, he does so, and if he cannot, he prays. As for being lax and saying, "Later, when I recover, I will pray," this is an obligation. It is permissible. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the sick person, "Pray standing." If he cannot, he prays sitting. If he cannot, he prays on his side. If he cannot, he lies on his back. The one who cannot use water performs dry ablution, and the one who is unable performs dry ablution. He has no excuse. This is a mistake. It is obligatory for the Muslim to remind his brothers. For example, if he sees his sick brother, he reminds him of these matters and says to him, if he fears he is making a mistake in this, he reminds him and clarifies it to him, so that this falls under the category of cooperating in righteousness and piety. Yes.

The presenter:
All right.

The Shaykh:
If he died and did not pray, there is no sin on him. It is returned to him with generosity and forgiveness because he left it due to a doubt. But there is an ignorant person who thinks that this is the best, and it is not the ruling for one who left it intentionally, or with stubbornness, or out of laxity. Some people think that this is what is prescribed, and that if he prays it after the illness, it is better, and that he prays it in a more complete manner. This is from great ignorance. We seek help from Allah.

The questioner:
Well, if he left it, meaning he promised himself that if he recovered...

The Shaykh:
No, no, no, no.

The questioner:
Professor, his capabilities and what months...

The Shaykh:
It is a matter of the Qur'an, but if Allah wills, forgiveness will return to him from Allah.

The questioner:
A precise month.

The Shaykh:
The prayer, the prayer, leaving it intentionally, deliberately.

The questioner:
The passing.

The Shaykh:
If it was out of laxity, he is a disbeliever; he is not washed and no prayer is performed over him. But if the intention was that he is impure, and he sees that delaying it is better due to his ignorance,
