Is it possible for someone who has stopped praying for 34 years and has repented to make up the missed prayers by praying for 10 days for each [missed] day, or must he feed the needy due to the long duration?

This man committed a grave sin by abandoning prayer for a long time. He must repent sincerely to his Lord. Scholars have differed regarding the obligation to make up the prayers he missed, and the majority opinion, which is the more cautious one, is that making them up is obligatory. Therefore, this person must make up the missed prayers to the best of his ability, in a way that does not harm his body or his livelihood. Feeding the poor does not suffice for these missed prayers; rather, they must be made up according to the majority opinion.
