Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: If a person has been abandoning and neglecting the prayer and fasting, does he have to make them up after his guidance and repentance?
Answer:
If this has been frequent and prolonged, he should repent to Allah with a sincere repentance and maintain the prayer and fasting he left off for the rest of his life, and Allah accepts the repentance of whoever repents. However, if he is able to make them up because it was only a few days, it is obligatory for him to make them up. Yes.
