Q 2: Some Muslim brothers told me that I will be called to account for the Salah (Prayer) that I did not offer from the age of seven till fifteen. Since Salah is obligatory at the age of seven and
I started to offer it at fifteen, I was told that I must make up for the Prayers I missed during the previous 8 years.
Is this correct?
A:
Salah becomes obligatory when a Muslim reaches puberty. However, Salah is only Mustahab (desirable) not obligatory, during pre-adolescent years.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
