What is the repentance for intentionally abandoning prayer, according to the majority who hold that it must be made up, and according to those who hold that it does not have to be made up?
The repentance of one who abandons prayer is achieved by fulfilling the conditions of repentance, which are: abandoning the sin, resolving not to return to it, and regretting having committed it. So, whoever stipulates making up the missed prayers is obliged to do so promptly according to their ability without causing harm. And whoever does not stipulate it is advised to increase voluntary prayers, strive to complete their repentance, seek forgiveness, and perform good deeds that expiate sins.
