My father has recently passed away.
He has missed many salaah during his lifetime. He has passed away at aged 65.
Is there any way of paying to charity any amount for the salaah missed.
Please advise how to calculate the number of salaah missed and the
amount to pay for charity for each day of salaah missed.
Eg. 65 years less 15 years= 50 years salaah missed. 50 years X 365
days = 18250 days of salaah missed.
Your assistance in answering the above will be greatly appreciated.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
The scholars differed on the ruling on one who neglects the prayer out
of heedlessness and laziness.The correct view is that heis a kaafir.
This has been discussed previously in the answers to questions no.
2182 and 5208 .
Once it is established that the one who does not pray is a kaafir, it
is not permissible to give charity, fast and do Hajj on his behalf.
The scholars of the Standing Committee (9/69) were asked: Is it
acceptable to pray for forgiveness and give charity for one who died
when he did not pray, or he used to pray sometimes and sometimes he
did not pray? Is it permissible to attend his funeral and bury him in
the Muslim graveyard?
They replied: The one who does not pray because he denies that it is
obligatory is a kaafir according to the consensus of the Muslims. The
one who does not pray out of heedlessness and laziness is a kaafir
according to the more correct of the two scholarly opinions.
Based on that, if a person who deliberately does notpray dies, it is
not permissible to pray for forgiveness for him, or to give charity on
his behalf, or to attend his funeral, orbury him in the Muslim
graveyard, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon
him) said: "The covenant that stands between us and them is the
prayer; whoever abandons it is a kaafir." Narrated by Ahmad and the
authors ofas-Sunan with a saheeh isnaad. And he (blessings and peace
of Allah be upon him) said: "Betweena man and kufr and shirk there
stands his giving up prayer." Narrated by Muslim in his Saheeh.

'Afeefi… Shaykh 'Abdullah ibn Ghadyaan… Shaykh 'Abdullah ibn Qa'ood
If your father was unaware that prayer is obligatory, or he
followedscholars who ruled that the one who does not pray out of
heedlessness is not a kaafir, then we hope that Allah will forgive
him, and in this case supplication and prayers for forgiveness forhim,
and giving charity onhis behalf, will benefit him.
And Allah knows best.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*

Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
