Q 5: A person
used to offer Salah (Prayer) then abandoned it for one or two months or even more. Allah (Exalted be He) then guided him to Al-Haqq (the Truth). Should he make up for the Salahs he abandoned
or not?
A:
Whoever abandons Salah for one or two months, or for a lesser or greater period, must renew their Islam, make sincere Tawbah (repentance to Allah), and regret the Salahs they abandoned, because totally abandoning Salah is major Kufr (disbelief). It is, thus, prescribed for this person to increase his offering of supererogatory acts of worship and implore earnestly to Allah (Glorified be He) so that He may pardon him, forgive what he did, and accept his Tawbah. Verily, Tawbah cancels all the sins preceding it. He is not obligated to make up for the Salahs he abandoned.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
