Clarification that sincere repentance expiates what came before it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q316: The questioner says: I am a woman who used to be negligent in prayer, especially the Fajr prayer. Also, when I travel, I leave the prayers that I missed during the journey. All of this was due to my ignorance. Now, however, I have repented to Allah and praised Allah for His grace in bestowing this upon me. The question is: Do I have to make up the prayers I missed, or is repentance sufficient?
A316: The correct and stronger position—and Allah knows best—is that sincere repentance is sufficient, provided one maintains the prayers for the rest of one's life. Sincere repentance for what has passed, and maintaining the prayers in the future, is sufficient, if Allah wills.
