The man who left the prayer for five days and did not make them up: is repentance alone sufficient for him, or is repentance and making them up required?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : This one says, may Allah honor him,The Shaykh : Regarding the questioner who asked about the five days he did not pray in the hospital, he has not made them up to this day. Is it permissible for him to merely repent? Or must he repent and make them up?
The Shaykh : Repentance and making them up. He must repent to Allah for his delay, and he must make them up. Although the apparent meaning of his first question was that he had made them up, we say now that he must make them up, and he must do so now. It is not as some of the common people think, that one makes up each prayer with its corresponding prayer. No, make them all up now, one after another.
Yes.
