The Fiqh of Making up Salaah

1.    Should the person who slept through the time of Salaah make it up?

Shaykh al-Albaanee: The one who slept through the time of Salaah should make up the prayers he has missed while he was sleeping. [ath-Thamr al-Mustataab (55)]

2.    Should an insane person make up his prayer regardless of whether the period of his insanity was short or long?

Shaykh al-Albaanee: An insane person is not required to make up his Salaah regardless of whether the period of the insanity was short or long. And this the view of the Shaafi’ees and the preferred view of Shaykh al-Islaam in al-Ikhtiyaraat. [ath-Thamr al-Mustataab (1/55)]

3.    Is the one who was unconscious required to make up his missed prayers?

Shaykh al-Albaanee: He is not required to make up anything. And this the view of Ibn Hazm. [ath-Thamr al-Mustataab (1/55)]

4.    Is a disbeliever required to make up any Salaah when he accepts Islaam?

Shaykh al-Albaanee: He is not required to make up prayers due to the saying of the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam): “Islaam destroys whatever came before it.”[1] [ath-Thamr al-Mustataab (1/55)]

5.    Should the one who deliberately abandoned Salaah make it up?

Shaykh al-Albaanee: The prayer that an individual intentionally abandoned till the legislated time passed cannot be expiated for by observing it after its legislated time, because he had no legitimate excuse [for nor observing it at the stipulated time]. And Allaah the exalted said: Verily, the prayer is enjoined on the believers at fixed hours.”[2] [as-Saheehah, (1/681-682)]
