Rattraper ses Prières

Should we catch a missed prayer?

It can never be said enough: prayer is an obligation. Unfortunately, many of us neglect prayer, whether in doing it, in substance or in form. Since the age of puberty, prayer is obligatory for any person of holy spirit. The status of missed prayers is subject to differences. If it is a prayer missed in the day, by forgetfulness or because of sleep, we must catch it before the next prayer, which is known.

The Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: Anyone who has forgotten to pray must do it as soon as he or she remember, this is the only way to expiate it. [Bukhari]. Also, what is unanimous is that the Muslim must repent of not having prayed. The converts to Islam do not have any prayers to catch because they were not Muslims. Islam erases all of the above. Also, the woman who has had her menses or lochia does not have to catch up with her prayers.

There are 2 legal opinions on catching up on prayers. The first, adopted by great scholars like Ibn Hazm, Daoud adh-dhahiri, Ibn Taymiyah, Ibn Qayum Al-Djawziya, and among the contemporaries Al-Albani and the Outhaymine, is that a prayer that has been intentionally missed can not be overtaken. . Prayer is valid only in its legal time, neither before nor after. Only those who have forgotten to pray or because they slept can catch up with it, according to the hadith mentioned above. On the other hand, he must sincerely repent, increase his requests for forgiveness, and do much supererogatory prayer.

The second opinion is that any missed prayer must be overtaken. So if we follow this advice, we must calculate all the prayers we have neglected and get organized to catch up. Now that we are aware of the problem, how can we make up for all past prayers? For some, this can be in months or even years. Let us be honest and sincere, this is especially in years, except those to whom Allah has mercy. May Allah forgive us.
