Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee decided that prayers left by the deceased do not need to be made up by living heirs, and no fidyah needs to be paid. The matter remains the deceased's own responsibility and is left to Allah, in the hope that Allah will forgive the person. The decision was made on 31/10/2007 and was not gazetted.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mengenai perkara meninggalkan solat,ia dia tidak perlu diqada'kan oleh warisnya yang masih hidup dan tidak perlu dibayar fidyah.
