The Shaykh : Then the author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "And it is obligatory" This is the beginning of today's lesson: "And it is obligatory to make up the missed prayers immediately, in order".
"It is obligatory to make up the missed prayers". "Al-Fawa'id" is the plural of "fa'idah." A "fa'idah" is any act of worship whose time has passed; it is considered missed. Any time-bound act of worship whose time has passed is considered missed, whether it is a voluntary act like witr or an obligatory act like the five daily prayers. So, any time-bound act of worship that is performed after its time, or whose time passes before it is performed, is considered missed. "Any time-bound act of worship whose time passes before it is performed is considered missed, and it is then called a made-up prayer". This is why he said "It is obligatory to make up" and did not say "It is obligatory to perform", because "ada'" (performance) refers to what is done within its time, "qada'" (making up) refers to what is done after its time, and "i'adah" (repetition) refers to what is done a second time within its time. These are three things: making up, performing, and repeating.
Making up refers to what is done outside the time, after the time. Performing refers to what is done within the time. Repeating refers to what is done a second time within the time. For example, if you prayed the midday prayer in your mosque and then came to a congregational mosque and prayed with them, this is called, this is called repeating.
Now, it is obligatory to make up the missed prayers. We have "qada'" (making up). Why did we call it "qada'"? Because it is after the time. It is "fa'idah" (missed) because its time passed before it was performed, so it is considered missed.
His statement "It is obligatory": The obligation was discussed to us in the principles of jurisprudence as that which is commanded with the meaning of compulsion. This is the obligatory, and obligation means compulsion. The evidence for the obligation of making up prayers is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): The lam in his statement "let him pray it" indicates obligation, for the command, and the command indicates obligation. And because this man, or because this person whose act of worship was missed, his conscience is burdened with it, so it is obligatory for him to perform it because it was a debt, as the Messenger (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him) said to the woman who asked him if she could perform Hajj on behalf of her mother. He said to her: Sahih al-Bukhari 1852 So we have evidence, and what else? And a rationale. The evidence is: The rationale is that his conscience is burdened with it, so it is a debt upon him, and a debt must be made up. Good.
