Yasir Qadhi – How Do I Make Up Salah That I Missed For Years? Ask Shaykh YQ #175

			SR Sania asks that she says that she had not been practicing Islam for many years and she did not
pray regularly. And now she has repented to Allah. And she is now asking what is to be done with
regards to all of the years of Salah that she has not prayed one
		

			hour to sell me Kobe, deca Reja? No, hey, lay him first.
		

			Recovery.
		

			Now, this is the quick q&a. And so I'm not going to go into a lot of detail in reality this question
easily deserves and maybe a longer time I will answer both sides and evidences obviously you can
understand there are two opinions about this issue. First one says you know, she has to repeat to
the best of her capability. And the second one says that once it is gone, it is gone. And I will say
that if she is able to repeat, repeat if you're able to do so do so. And if you're not if you really
if there's so many years and it is simply not something that is feasible, then follow the other
opinion which says that repent to Allah a sincere repentance, which means you must feel a sense of
		

			regret and remorse. And you must increase your is still far. And you must repent internally and
externally, internally from your heart and externally from the tongue. And you must increase your
good deeds of all genres of sadhaka and of taking care of the poor and feeding the hungry and of
generally changing a lifestyle that indicates that you feel that you have missed a lot of good in
your previous years and repent to Allah by especially doing extra NFL and extra Sooners and then it
shall load data that will be a sufficient, if you like
		

			means of Recompense. And this is of course the second opinion there are two opinions and as for the
evidences and whatnot, maybe another time I'll give a longer and lengthier lecture about who said
what and what are the evidences In either case, both of these positions are really valid in the
sense that both have been held by major scholars and whichever you're able to obviously if you're
able to do and make them up obviously you get out of it. Okay laugh and even that group would say
you should still repent to Allah because you made a mistake and do all of the others things that I
have mentioned and Allah subhana wa tada knows best.
