The questioner : I have discussed with one of the imams in a mosque near us the making up of missed prayers, which is known as making up the missed prayers (qada' al-fawa'id), and this shaykh affirmed to me that there is no evidence for the existence of what was mentioned before, "making up the missed prayers". He affirmed this to me by asking me for a proof from the Book and the Sunnah regarding what we discussed, but I could not answer him for that. So what is the opinion of the Shari'ah in your view, O Shaykh Muhammad, accompanied by the proof? May Allah reward you and may Allah reward us with the best reward.
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and I send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. This questioner did not clarify what happened between him and his companion in the discussion, but it appears to me that the discussion that took place between them was about the obligation of making up what was missed of the prayers. If that is the case, then the obligation of making up what a person missed of the prayers is indicated by the authentic Sunnah from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), where he said: And he recited the saying of Allah the Exalted: The recitation by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) of this verse as a citation and as evidence for the ruling of the issue indicates that that, namely making up the missed prayers, is established by the Book and the Sunnah.
And just as it is established by the Book and the Sunnah, it is also the requirement of correct reasoning, because if you do not pray, the prayer remains a debt in your obligation, and a debt must be paid, just as in the case of fasting Ramadan, if a person leaves it for an excuse such as illness or travel, he is obligated to make it up for a number of other days. And it should be known that this ruling, namely making up what was missed of the prayers, applies to one who did not pray them for an excuse such as forgetting or sleeping or the like. As for one who intentionally leaves the prayer until its time passes, the correct opinion is that he is not obligated to make it up, not to make it easy for him, but because he did not perform it according to the condition that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) stipulated in His saying:[An-Nisa 4:103] He has delayed it from its time intentionally without an excuse. So if he prays it after that, he has prayed it other than by the command of Allah and His Messenger. And it is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: Sahih Muslim 1718b But upon the one who delayed the prayer from its time intentionally is that he should repent to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and rectify his work. And if he repents to Allah and rectifies his work, then Allah the Exalted loves those who repent and loves those who purify themselves, and He accepts the repentance of one who repents. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah bless you. The listener Ibrahim Muhammad from al-Fashir, Sudan, asks, O honorable shaykh, and he says.

Whoever sleeps through a prayer or forgets it, let him pray it when he remembers it. There is no expiation for it except that.
من نام عن صلاة أو نسيها فليصلها إذا ذكرها لا كفارة لها إلا ذلكAnd establish prayer for My remembrance
وَأَقِمِ الصَّلاةَ لِذِكْرِيAnd just as it is established by the Book and the Sunnah, it is also the requirement of correct reasoning, because if you do not pray, the prayer remains a debt in your obligation, and a debt must be paid, just as in the case of fasting Ramadan, if a person leaves it for an excuse such as illness or travel, he is obligated to make it up for a number of other days.

Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a decree of specified times.
إِنَّ الصَّلاةَ كَانَتْ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كِتَابًا مَوْقُوتًاHe who did any act for which there is no sanction from our behalf, that is to be rejected.
