Question:
The statement that one who intentionally left the prayer does not make it up?
Answer:
This is a different matter; this is based on the statement of disbelief:
If he left it intentionally, he commits disbelief and there is no making up. If we say he commits disbelief, he does not make it up; he only has to repent. But if we say he does not commit disbelief, he has to make it up.
As for sleeping through the prayer, it is not disbelief. One who sleeps through the prayer or forgets it is excused, but it is not permissible to do it intentionally. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Ibn Majah 1079Sahih (Darussalam) We ask Allah for well-being.
