Assalamualaikum sister hope this helps

How can he make up for missed prayers?.

Praise be to Allaah.

2 –

He missed the prayer with no excuse; rather he ignored it until the time for it ended, out of laziness and carelessness. This person is sinning according to the consensus of the Muslims, and has committed a major sin.

It is not valid for him to make it up according to the more correct of the two scholarly opinions, rather he has to repent and regret it, and resolve not to do that again, and he should do a lot of good deeds and offer a lot of voluntary prayers.

Ibn Hazm said:

As for the one who deliberately omits to pray until the time for the prayer ends, he can never make it up, so he should do a lot of good deeds and offer a lot of voluntary prayers, so that his balance (of good deeds) will weigh heavily on the Day of Resurrection, and he should repent and ask Allaah for forgiveness. End quote.

Al-Muhalla (2/235).

This is also the view of ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab and his son ‘Abd-Allaah, and of Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqaas, Salmaan, Ibn Mas’ood, al-Qaasim ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr, Badeel al-‘Aqeeli, Muhammad ibn Sireen, Mutarrif ibn ‘Abd-Allaah and ‘Umar ibn ‘Abd al-‘Azeez. It was also the view of Dawood al-Zaahiri and Ibn Hazm, and was the view favoured by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah and al-Shawkaani. Among contemporary scholars it was regarded as more correct by al-Albaani, Ibn Baaz, Ibn ‘Uthaymeen and others.

They quoted as evidence the following:

(i)

The words of Allaah (interpretation of the meaning):

“Verily, As‑Salaah (the prayer) is enjoined on the believers at fixed hours”

[al-Nisa’ 4:103]

They said: There is a set time for prayer and it is not permissible to do it at any other time except with evidence.

(ii)

The words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “Whoever forgets a prayer, let him offer it as soon as he remembers, for there is no expiation for it other than that.”

The words “let him offer it as soon as he remembers, for there is no expiation for it other than that” mean: If he is slow in offering the prayer after he remembers it, then it is not an expiation, so how about the one who neglects it deliberately without forgetting or sleeping? It is even more likely that it will not be an expiation in that case, and making it up will be of no benefit.

(iii)

Because Allaah has allocated a specific time for each obligatory prayer, specifying the beginning and end thereof, so it is as if it is not valid to do it before that time just as it is not valid to do it afterwards.

Al-Muhalla (2/235).

Al-Shawkaani (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

Ibn Taymiyah said: Those who disagree – i.e., those who say that he should make up the prayer – do not have any proof to support their argument. Most of them say that he does not have to make it up unless there is a clear command (based on evidence), but there is no such command in this case. We do not disagree that it is obligatory to make it up; rather we disagree as to whether the made-up prayer will be accepted from him and whether prayer offered at the wrong time is valid. He discussed this matter at length and he favoured the view that was mentioned by Dawood and those who agreed with him, and the matter is as he put it, because I made a thorough study of this matter and I did not see any reliable evidence that obliges the one who misses a prayer deliberately to make it up.

Nayl al-Awtaar (2/26).

The more correct view – and Allaah knows best – is that the one who deliberately omits the prayer should not make it up, rather he has to seek forgiveness and repent.


JazakAllah for these information sis And that bolded part is very true subhanallah....though like bro Ayman said, wouldn't it be better to do make-up prayers(for It's Always the best way to be close to Allah SWT) and later find out that it wasn't actually required than to Not do it and later find out that it WAS(and face difficulties, subhanallah)!?

Assalaam walaikum,

Sometimes in life..we need to remember only Allah subhana talla knows our circumstances. Sometimes in life when we are in prostration..we ask for forgiveness and truly repent. Sometimes in life..we know, we feel, we experience when He sends down His Blessings.

The reward of prayer is peace and joy. Prayer gives us energy. But, He who Created us is Oft-Forgiving. Can we keep it that simple.

The inquiry submitted by sister suhaanah had been satisfactorily answered inshallah through two scholarly explanations..hence I believe that the thread has received its due attention..and there's no need to further argue over what is right and what is wrong..how one interpretation can be superior over another hadakom Allah!

For the sake of Allah..and for the sake of earning and maintaining His Favor..always remember that we are accountable for every word verbalized *even if* it is one that is *correct*..but we are fallible creatures with a nafs that more often than not..sneaks in sips of whims at every chance it gets..thus we should hold back from speaking about matters of the deen with *utter confidence* and be satisfied with relaying what the knowledgeable and learned have to say *verbatim* without *personal input*..because in that there's *immunity* from fitnah for us baraka Allaho feekom...and may Allah guide and protect all of us!

***THREAD CLOSED***
