Ruling on making up missed obligatory prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner from Libya also asks, O Shaykh: Is it permissible to make up missed prayers? Or is repentance alone sufficient?
Answer:
Rather, it is obligatory to make up the missed prayers. If a person misses any of the prayers, he must make them up; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan an-Nasa'i 861Sahih (Darussalam) And because it is an obligation, it is obligatory for him. If he slept through it, forgot it, or intentionally left it, he must make it up. As for if he slept or forgot, making it up is obligatory; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: .
As for if he did it intentionally, that is a great abomination. But if he makes them up as a precaution, if they are few; otherwise, repentance wipes out what came before. But if they are few, two or three prayers, making them up as a precaution and to avoid the difference of opinion is good, if Allah wills. As for if they are many, there is no making them up; repentance is sufficient; because leaving them is disbelief. We ask Allah for safety.

ما أدركتم فصلوا وما فاتكم فاقضواWhoever sleeps through a prayer or forgets it, let him pray it when he remembers it.
من نام عن الصلاة أو نسيها فليصلها إذا ذكرهاAs for if he did it intentionally, that is a great abomination.
