Answer
- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -
If a person misses the prayers and dies before making up the missed prayers, then it is obligatory on him to make a will to pay the ransom for those prayers before he dies. In such a case, if he makes a will to pay the ransom, the heirs will pay the ransom after calculating all the prayers performed from one-third of his abandoned property. And if all his fidyah is not paid by one-third of the goods, the additional amount of wealth will be required with the consent of all the heirs. However, it cannot be taken from the minor part. Although he agrees. If he has made a will in this way, then if he has not performed the obligatory acts of fasting, Hajj, Zakat and Sadaqah, then they should also be performed. And for Hajj, substitute Hajj can be performed. The ransom for prayers, fasting and sadaqa al-fitr, etc., is 60 tola, 1 se bar of chhatak (1 kg 82 g) of wheat or flour or its present market value should be made the owner of a poor miskin. Better a poor horse than no horse at all. Instead of the obligatory prayers and the Witr prayers, one ransom has to be paid each time. The ransom must be paid for a total of six daily prayers, including five daily prayers and Vitr. And even if your father did not make a will to pay the ransom for his qiyaam prayers etc. before his death, even if you, the adult heirs, voluntarily collect his ransom from their own property, it is hoped that it will be of great benefit to him. And as long as it is possible to collect the ransom of his whole life at once, he will continue to collect the ransom from the top of the complete religion. And he will always keep on praying to Allah for his forgiveness and Paradise. 8539522415
