Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : I said that this ruling is based on a principle founded on evidence. What is the principle?
"Any time-bound act of worship that a person performs outside its time, whether before it or after it, is invalid from him and not accepted", because Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said to perform it in this time, between the beginning of the time and its end, perform it in this.
So if you take it out of the time or bring it forward before the time,
did you do what you were commanded to do?
The answer is: No.
And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1718b.
And this is the choice of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) that if a person intentionally delays the prayer beyond its time, it is not accepted from him, even if he prays it a thousand times, and he does not make it up, because there is no benefit in making it up.

He who did any act for which there is no sanction from our behalf, that is to be rejected.
