Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... what is lacking in the obligatory prayer, and the sunnahs are compensators for the deficiency ... .
The Shaykh : It is a deficiency that encompasses both quantity and quality, and if it is lacking, this is a general text that encompasses both quantity and quality: . Yes, his prayer.
The questioner : ... I heard one of the shaykhs say that those who speak about the madhahib ... making up ... this is a patch, not from the original of the madhhab.
The Shaykh : ... .
The questioner : They say regarding making up ... the madhahib, this is a patch, not from the original of the madhahib from the Imam; these are the later scholars who said this.
The Shaykh : For making up?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : No, this statement is not correct?
The questioner : Oh?
The Shaykh : No, that is not correct.
The questioner : He said: Because the original of the madhhab of Abu Hanifah in their view ... the one who leaves the prayer is ordered to pray, and if he does not pray, he is imprisoned and beaten until blood flows from him, and if he performs this act and the hadd is established against him, he does not leave the prayer.
The Shaykh : Okay, and if the situation is like now, is there anyone who applies the rulings of the Shari'ah?
The questioner : Yes...
The Shaykh : No, my brother.
Another questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : This statement is wrong.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : My brother, be patient, do not take matters with heat; the four madhahib say regarding making up, Ahmad says regarding making up; if the religion were based on personal desire, we would wish that it were not as he said, but we do not come to change the facts just to agree with what we have; the four Imams said regarding making up, Imam al-Shafi'i says regarding making up, and Imam Ahmad says regarding making up.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : They themselves with themselves.
Another questioner : Do they have evidence?
The Shaykh : Their evidence is based on ijtihad as we mentioned, so you say: Denying that the Imams said regarding making up is denying reality; they said regarding making up without doubt, and it is not only the followers, rather the followers are following the Imams in this statement, but some of the followers, when they studied the evidence for the statement regarding making up and did not find it sufficient to prove the claim, said regarding not making up; for example, from the Shafi'i Imams, "Al-Imam al-Aziz ibn Abd al-Salam," he says that the one who leaves the prayer intentionally and deliberately does not make it up, and he is Shafi'i, but al-Shafi'i himself says: he makes it up; there is no room for denying this; for example, "Ibn Taymiyyah" and "Ibn al-Qayyim" from the Hanbalis are famous in that they say regarding not making up for the one who leaves it intentionally, as for "Ibn Hazm" - for example - and others of the independent scholars like "Al-Shawkani" and "Al-Siddiq Hasan Khan," they also say regarding not making up, so the one who told you what you quoted from him, let him refer to the books of the early Imams, and he will find them explicitly stating that.
