Q&A: Do I have to Make Up Missed Prayers? | Dr. Shabir Ally

[@mertmitm]

I really like Dr.Shabir Ally! Unlike many other scholars he has not a big ego and doesn’t preach in a patronizing manner!

[@gummybear41283]

yes, he doesn't scream, he has a soothing voice

[@Truth_Seeker1]

He is great but he isn’t a scholar he is a student of religion. He did his undergraduate and masters in religious education and his PhD in Islamic studies.

Fajr prayer on time is equal to success all the time, All the five daily prayers are equally important..Recite Ayat Al Kursi after every Salat so that Allah will protect you always

He who recites Aya Al Kursi after every salat only has death between him and Jenna

Nawawi on making up missedprayers: scholarly consensus In regards to the obligatory of making up Missed prayers Imam Nawawi stated in his al-Majmu` Sharh al-Muhadhdhab (3.86): “There is consensus (ijma`) of the scholars whose opinion counts that whoever leaves a prayer intentionally must make it up. Abu Muhammad Ali Ibn Hazm differed with them on this, saying that such an individual cannot ever make them up and it is not at all valid to make them up. Rather, he said, one must do much good works and voluntary prayer in order that one’s scales be heavied on the day of judgement and one must seek Allah’s forgiveness and repent. This position of his, along with being in opposition to scholarly consensus (ijma`), is invalid in terms of the proof… Among the proofs for the obligation to makeup is… that if makeupprayers are obligatory for the one who left the prayer forgetfully, then doing so for the one who left the prayer deliberately is more obviously incumbent.” Imam Nawawi is referring here to the hadith related by Anas that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, “Whoever forgets a prayer must perform it when they remember it…” [Bukhari (597), and Muslim (684)] Imaam Nawawi says, “This hadith contains evidence that the obligatory prayer which has beenmissed must be made up, regardless if one left it due to a valid excuse, such as sleep or forgetfulness or due to no valid excuse. the hadith mentions only the excuse of forgetfulness due to it being said after the occurrence of a specific even but (is to be applied generally.) If it is necessary for one who has a valid excuse to make up the prayer, it is even more so required for the one who has no valid excuse. Therefore, the hadith is informing us of this by means of using the lesser thing to alert to the greater thing.” (Sharh Muslim- Nawawi) Shaykh Nuh Ali Salman said, the words of the Prophet :saa: “A debt to Allah has better right to be fulfilled,” a hadith related by Bukhari and Muslim. “The hadith’s context is that of making up another person’s hajj, the Prophet (SAW) likened themissed worship to a debt, similar hadiths existing about fasting, proving that acts of worship whenmissed, regardless of the reason, become a debt that must be repaid just as other debts are. and with even better right. We say“regardless of the reason” because the Prophet (SAW) did not ask the questioner about the reason for its having been missed. And if this is established in relation to making up the worship of another, it hold with still a better right for making up one’s own missed acts of worship.” Imaam Qurtabi said, “The Jurist of the four schools of thought are agreed it is obligatory to make upmissed obligatory prayers, regardless of whether one left them due to a valid reason, such as sleep or forgetfulness, or out of negligence and laziness.” To understand why it is Wajib To make up your missed Salaat, you need to understand the conditions of Tawba.(repentance) What are the conditions of tawba(repentance) to be accepted? I know of four condition, of which I don’t think there is a difference of opinion on. 1. That he must stop the sin. 2. Have a sense of remorse. 3. Be determined never to repeat again. 4. And he must correct the wrong act if he is able. I have not read any different opinion concerning the condition of repentance. The condition that is very important to the issue of making up the salaat, is the forth (4th) condition. You have to correct the wrong that you have committed if possible. For example, if you steal $1000 from somebody, it is not sufficient that one just say, Allah forgive me, but he has to ask Allah forgiveness, feel remorse about it, never repeat it, and return the money. Even if he has bills to pay. Out of taqwa. And this is how we should understand our salaat. In terms of salaat. If a person misses his salaat, he must: 1. Stop missing his salaat. 2. He must feel remorse. 3. Be determined never to miss another salaat. 4. And make up what he missed, as he violated his obligation to Allah. The words of the Prophet :saa: “A debt to Allah has better right to be fulfilled,” a hadith related by Bukhari and Muslim.

what if due to work I can't always pray salah on time will my delayed/missed prayer be accepted if I make up for it as soon as I get home also due to clothing and wudu not being done properly

[@PearDBD]

Sorry that this reply is so late. Accidentally sleeping through a prayer or forgetting are the only valid reasons for missing prayers. My suggestion is when you make up the prayers, repent for missing it with sincere guilt and beg Allah for forgiveness. He surely will

[@umarulfarooqkm2281]

there is a saheeh hadeeth in saheeh muslim which mentions praying missed prayers,scholars such as imam nawawi deduces from it the compulsion to make up those even if it's due to negligence and there is 'ijma on this...the second view mentioned by Dr.Shabir is proposed by ibn Hazm of Zaahiri school(and also by ibn taymiyyah) and his analogy and proofs are refuted by Islamic giants b4 700 AH.

Brother that is in terms of rewards, not in like literally its 2500 prayers (it is worth 2500 prayers as in the reward but it is 500 prayers literally). I.e. equivalent to the reward.
