If one misses the festival prayer, does he make it up?

The questioner : ... Your words to me yesterday on the phone, before you asked me about the festival prayer, or rather, he was saying, "Oh Allah, O Abu 'Abdullah, if you had said this to me before I sent a new message about the ruling on the two festival prayers so we could print a new edition, we would have included this statement in it." We told him, "It is what Allah willed, and He did what He willed." My Shaykh, look, we memorized our lesson, or did we not, according to what we heard from you yesterday? If ...

The Shaykh : You are not the one who memorized it; rather, the one who transmitted it from you did not memorize it. One of the two. Bring it so we can see it now.

The questioner : My Shaykh, if a man was negligent regarding the festival prayer, he owes no festival prayer. He does not pray the festival prayer, and he is sinful.

The Shaykh: Perfect.

The questioner : He does not pray it, and he is sinful.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : As for if he was not negligent because he was unable, or he arrived and found the prayer had ended, he is excused by Allah (Mighty and Majestic). But he prays the festival prayer. There is a difference between praying it alone or praying it in congregation. If he prays it in congregation, he prays it in two rak'ahs and says the takbir in it, plus the additional takbirs we benefited from you just now. And if he prays it alone, he prays it in four rak'ahs.

The Shaykh : So, the one who transmitted it from you did not understand you, or you did not understand him. This is a possible scenario, ha.

The questioner : But my Shaykh ...

The Shaykh : As for now, I say, may Allah protect you.
