🔎 Some people miss prayers intentionally due to some commitments, what is the ruling?

‼️Abandoning or Missing prayers intentionally, without any valid Sharee’ah excuse is a major sin.

💥 Delaying to offer prayer on time intentionally, due to your job or any other commitment, and joining it with another prayer is considered as “اکبر الکبائر” (one of the gravest major sins)

♻️ Qada is only for those prayers that were missed due to valid Sharee’ah reasons:

1️⃣ First Scenario:
If a person fell asleep or overslept while he had the intention to pray on time, then he should offer Salah as soon as he wakes up. His Salah would be considered valid and would not be counted as “Qada.” (missed prayer)

2️⃣ Second Scenario:
If a person had the intention to pray on time, but he forgot about it and remembered only when the prescribed time for that particular Salah had ended, then he should offer that Salah as soon as he remembers it. Allah would forgive him and his prayer would be counted as valid.

🌟 Allah ﷻ accepts the prayers that have been delayed due to sleep or forgetfulness and these prayers are considered valid, not counted as “Qada” (missed prayers).

📝 A Hadith to take an important lesson:

📚 “(In the Night of Mi’raaj, Prophet of Allah ﷺ and the angels) came across a man lying down, and behold, another man was standing over his head, holding a big rock.
🩸Behold, he was throwing the rock at the man's head, injuring it.
⛰️The rock rolled away and the thrower followed it and took it back.
🔄 By the time he reached the man, his head returned to the normal state. The thrower then did the same as he had done before.

💬 (When Prophet of Allah ﷺ asked about him, the angels replied):
📖 As for the first man you came upon whose head was being injured with the rock, he is the symbol of the one who studies the Qur'an and then neither recites it nor acts on its orders,
🚫 And sleeps, neglecting the obligatory prayers.”
✨[Sahih Bukhari 7047]

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Your Family:
🔸Allah has made it obligatory for us to save ourselves as well as our family from Hellfire (due to negligence in offering Salah regularly and at their prescribed times)

📖 يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا قُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًا وَقُودُهَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَةُ...۞
"O those who believe, save yourselves and your families from a fire whose fuel is people and stones."
✨[At-Tahrim 66:6]

⚠️Abandoning the prayers is one of the gravest sins (اکبر الکبائر).

💥 Severe warning for those who 'Do Not Pray On Time':

📖 فَخَلَفَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ خَلۡفٌ أَضَاعُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَٱتَّبَعُواْ ٱلشَّهَوَٰتِۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَلۡقَوۡنَ غَيًّا۞
"Then came after them the successors who ruined Salah and pursued desires. So they will soon face (the outcome of their) perversion."
[Maryam 19:59]✨

‼️The descendants of the Prophets remained steadfast on Salah for a long time, but afterwards they fell into 2 major sins:

1️⃣ They neglected their prayers
2️⃣ and started pursuing their desires

📜Abdullah Ibn Abbas, Abdullah Ibn Masood and many other Companions of the Prophet ﷺ agree upon this point while explaining this verse:

❌ By Allah! (“neglecting their prayers” does not mean that) they did not pray at all, like the people of this current era.

🌅They used to offer their prayers but they used to offer it at their own convenient time rather than the prescribed time. Thus, they wasted their prayers.

🕳️ By neglecting or wasting their prayers means not praying on the prescribed time.

⏰ It means praying at your own convenient time; praying whenever you get up after sleeping, praying after finishing all your work, praying whenever you feel like praying instead of praying at the prescribed time.
