Question:
Is it required of a person who did not pray in the past to make up the times in which he did not pray? And is it permissible to make up prayers during the five times in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade prayer?
Answer:
He does not have to make them up, if Allah accepts his repentance. He does not have to make them up. If he did not pray and then Allah accepted his repentance, he does not have to make them up. Repentance is sufficient. It covers what came before it, and praise be to Allah.
As for the one who has to make up prayers, he makes them up even if it is a time when prayer is forbidden. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So if he forgets, for example, the midday prayer and does not remember it until after the afternoon prayer, he hastens to make it up. Or if he forgets the night prayer and does not remember it until after the dawn prayer, he hastens to make it up. Yes.

Whoever sleeps through a prayer or forgets it, let him pray it when he remembers it; there is no expiation for it except that.
