The Ruling on Making Up Missed Prayers Due to Laziness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Regarding the missed prayers, I had not prayed for more than two months. Now I have been consistent in praying at their appointed times. Do I have to make up those prayers I left?
Answer:
Yes, do you repeat these prayers? The ones you left off out of laziness. You left them off out of laziness while acknowledging their obligation and that they are fard (obligatory), so you must make them up. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan ad-Darimi 2:45 There is no expiation for them except that. However, you must arrange them in order. It is necessary to arrange them by months, then by days, then by times. You pray the prayers of one day in order, and the second day likewise, until you are finished with them. Seek Allah's help in doing so, along with repentance to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
