How to make up missed travel prayers while in residence
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
His Eminence the Shaykh: A person missed a travel prayer. What does he make up while in residence if he left it intentionally?
If the prayer becomes obligatory during travel, it is obligatory as two rak'ahs. If he missed it due to drowsiness, forgetfulness, sleep, or a defect in an obligatory act that he did not know about until he was in residence, he makes it up as two rak'ahs.By the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): (Whoever sleeps through a prayer or forgets it, let him pray it when he remembers it) That is: he prays that specific prayer which he forgot or slept through, in its specific form. If it was shortened, he shortens it; if it was not shortened, he does not shorten it.
Similarly, if he travels after the time has entered and does not pray until he is in travel, he prays two rak'ahs; this is because the consideration is for the performance of the prayer, not for the entry of its time.
As for if he leaves the prayer intentionally in residence or travel, he does not make it up and his obligation is not discharged, even if he prays a thousand prayers; because whoever leaves the prayer intentionally until its time passes and then prays it, it is not accepted from him;By the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): (Whoever does an action that is not in accordance with our command, it is rejected) and delaying the prayer beyond its time is not in accordance with the command of Allah and His Messenger; rather, there is a prohibition from Allah and His Messenger. But what does he do?We say: If he repents, Allah will accept his repentance, and making up what he left intentionally is not a condition for repentance.
