A man who abandoned prayer and fasting, then repented to Allah: does he have to make them up?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The subject of repentance from it. The man supported the statement, and I am reading it for the first time, stating that if a person, for example, did not pray the prayer or did not fast the month of Ramadan, then repented to Allah the Exalted and Majestic, does Allah the Exalted and Majestic not forgive him? Does He pardon him for Ramadan?

The Shaykh : Until he makes up what is due from him.

The questioner : Until he makes up what is due from him, because this is a right... and Allah only forgives him for delaying the fasting or the prayer from its time. But with this long research, I did not find for it a proof that can truly be relied upon, not even an implicit proof that convinces me. So, what is your opinion of this statement?

The Shaykh : You have relieved us, you have relieved us.

Another questioner : Meaning he has no proof, meaning I asked and he answered.

The questioner : Is this man known to you?

The Shaykh : No.

The questioner : He is not known, meaning he has presented the statements of the Imams, the statements of the Salaf, and the statements of the scholars of hadith, and refuted the statements, and exerted good effort in the issue.

The Shaykh : But as came in the athar from our master 'Umar, of course with a difference in the Muslim... he said:
(3) Working [hard] and exhausted. (4) They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. عاملة ناصبه تصلى نارا حامية
[Al-Ghashiyah 88:3-4]
.

Another questioner : Meaning, what is the meaning of exerting effort but his effort is without fruit?

The Shaykh : What is this effort if he wants to legislate a worship from himself, to pray it at a time other than the time Allah legislated?

The questioner : Okay, Professor, if we say, for example, one who abandons prayer and one who did not fast Ramadan until the end of the rights that he called rights in the debt, and he repented to Allah the Exalted and Majestic, Allah the Exalted and Majestic, as it appears from the evidence, forgives him, pardons him for the prayers that passed, are they not required from him?

The Shaykh : Of course, in my capacity as a Salafi, this is my answer. This is known, this is

The questioner : The issue, I want to say, is that this remains in the debt, and Allah the Exalted and Majestic demands this from him.

The Shaykh : "Produce your proof, if you should be truthful."

The questioner : I swear by Allah, he has no proof, and he has no proofs.

The Shaykh : Did I not tell you, you have relieved us?

Another questioner : It is possible that the evidence exists that repentance wipes out what came before it, and that this disbeliever believed at the last moment.

The questioner : I asked the brother Abu 'Abdullah: Where is the proof for this big claim? Where is the proof, my brother? I accept from you an implicit proof, not explicit. Of course, he was silent, Shaykh, there is no proof.

The Shaykh : But you are asking him, the one who lacks the thing cannot give it, he believes in...

The questioner : Ah, his heart was at ease and he was relieved...

The Shaykh : What Allah willed, therefore I am afraid for you.

Another questioner : Is there making up of the prayer?

The questioner : That the right remains in the debt, listen, Shaykh, what I said to him, whether you agree or not, I said to him, perhaps there is a hadith that supports his madhhab in one way or another...

The Shaykh : Welcome, Doctor, how are you, when will you open the clinic, if Allah wills, congratulations.
The Doctor: On the date... if Allah wills.

The Shaykh : Congratulations.

The questioner : I read this research and I say that if a person dies and he has a debt... and that it is more worthy to make it up.

The Shaykh : I read it before I heard it.

The questioner : But you said and you asked about Doctor 'Isam, and I am talking to you, may Allah improve your state.

The Shaykh : Amen.

The questioner : I said that there is a hadith that the Lord of the Worlds will account people for the prayer, if there is a deficiency in the obligatory prayer, He says:
Does he have any voluntary prayer? هل له من نافلة
I say that this hadith, in one way or another, testifies to his madhhab a little that...

The Shaykh : Does the form differ from the form or not?

The questioner : Of course, there are things that differ.

The Shaykh : Okay, what is the other form?

The questioner : There is not in this hadith that the obligatory prayer is required from him, and based on this, this voluntary prayer filled the place of the obligatory prayer...

Another questioner : On the contrary, this hadith denied that it should be made up...

The questioner : Meaning, if this hadith indicates that the obligatory prayer remains in the debt, and therefore it is expiated by the voluntary prayer, meaning here is the point of argument for me, and of course I do not say by making it up, but we are discussing the issue in the way he opposed it.

The Shaykh : Confusion, Shaykh 'Ali, Sha'ban in Ramadan, the research is in making up.

The questioner : I swear by Allah, his research is in making up.

The Shaykh : Okay, what did he bring of the hadith that:
Complete for him his obligatory prayer with it أتموا له بها فريضته
The problem, as we say, a tooth and a lesson do not meet, when it should be like this scientific research, the people should be silent, quiet, listening, and so on, but one asks from here, and the second answers from here, and the third is pouring tea, drinking tea, and so on, drink the tea now, a break now for drinking tea, then you will direct your questions.

The questioner : This is the same... do not respond to it.

The Shaykh : The intended meaning is who is the one who was ignited? Is he from the people of knowledge or from the people of ignorance? There is a difference between one person and another, meaning the important thing is placing the texts in their places, and not expanding their scope and including in them what is not from them, this is the important thing, because when we expand the scope of "ask your heart," everyone makes himself a scholar, and asks his heart, is this haram? And Allah, my heart was not at ease that it is haram, so it is halal, and the opposite is the opposite, and so on, and here enter the desires that run with people and move in them like the disease of rabies.
