The Shaykh : And he said: "And whoever becomes eligible for its obligation before the time for it expires, it becomes obligatory upon him, as well as what is combined with it before it".
"Whoever becomes eligible for its obligation before the time for it expires, it becomes obligatory upon him". Now, how is that? Eligibility for obligation is established by maturity and the removal of the impediment. Eligibility is established by maturity and the removal of the impediment. So one becomes eligible for its obligation if he reaches maturity before the time expires, if he gains intellect before the time expires, or if unconsciousness is removed, according to the view that the prayer of unconsciousness is not made up before the time expires.
"The removal of the impediment": if she becomes pure before the time expires. So his statement, "whoever becomes eligible for its obligation", includes the one who becomes eligible for its obligation because he was not previously obligated, or because he was characterized by an impediment that was then removed. So, by how much must one become eligible for its obligation before the time expires? According to the author's opinion, by the amount of the opening takbir; and according to the one who says by a rak'ah, it is by a rak'ah. The important point is that he became eligible for the obligation before the time expired, either by a rak'ah or by the opening takbir. It becomes obligatory upon him, meaning that specific prayer becomes obligatory upon him, of which he caught the amount of the takhirah according to the author's statement, or the amount of a rak'ah according to the stronger opinion. This is clear that it is obligatory upon him because he was addressed with it within the time, and because of the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him):Muwatta Malik 1:15.
