Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This brother Abdullah says: I used to abandon the prayer for a certain period, and I am asking about making up the missed previous prayers, and I am now committed to my obligatory duties?
Answer:
You must repent to Allah and maintain the prayer in the future. As for what you left intentionally, it is not made up, because when you abandoned the prayer intentionally, you were not a Muslim. One who abandons the prayer intentionally exits Islam. But if you repent to Allah and return to Him and maintain the prayer, then you will adhere to it in the future of your life, and Allah will forgive what happened from you; because repentance wipes out what came before it, as in the hadith. Yes.
