IRSYAD HUKUM KE-40: BERIBADAT SELEPAS ASAR PADA HARI JUMAAT TERAKHIR RAMADHAN (JAWAPAN KEPADA YANG DIKATAKAN HADIS)
Is there a basis in hadith for performing expiatory prayers or making up missed daily prayers after the last Friday prayer of Ramadan until before Asr?
Short answer
The practice of expiatory prayers and making up the five daily prayers on the last Friday of Ramadan is rejected because no text supports it.

Summary
The practice of expiatory prayers and making up the five daily prayers on the last Friday of Ramadan is rejected because no text supports it. Attributing it to companions such as Abu Bakr and Ali without a sound chain of narration contradicts the discipline of hadith, and the hadith is described as false and fabricated, citing al-Shawkani. Missed prayers should also be made up promptly rather than delayed until the last Friday of Ramadan.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mengenai solat kaffarah, di sini tidak terdapat dalam nas yang Justeru, ianya ditolak.
