Ruling on making up prayers that were deliberately left off
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener Mahmoud Saleh sent a question, saying: If a person leaves off prayer due to the deception of Satan for periods that may extend to many months, does he have to make them up? How is the making up done? Does he pray every obligatory prayer along with its current time, or how is the situation? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Whoever deliberately leaves off prayer has committed disbelief in the most correct of the scholars' opinions, even if he does not deny its obligation. If he deliberately leaves it off, he commits disbelief by that, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the authentic hadith: And his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): Sunan Ibn Majah 1079Sahih (Darussalam) There are other hadiths indicating this meaning. So if he repents and returns, repentance wipes out what came before it, and praise be to Allah. He does not have to make up what was missed. The correct view is that he has no obligation to make up the missed prayers. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not order those who embraced Islam to make up their missed prayers, nor did he order those who apostatized and then embraced Islam to make them up. Rather, repentance is sufficient, and praise be to Allah, it wipes out what came before it, and he has no obligation to make up the missed prayers. Yes.

Between a man and disbelief and shirk (associating partners with Allah) is the abandonment of prayer.
بين الرجل، وبين الكفر والشرك ترك الصلاةThe covenant that distinguishes between us and them is prayer; so whoever leaves it, he has committed Kufr.
