Is the repentance of the incapacitated person who did not pray and committed abominable acts then repented, regretted, and started praying and reading the Qur’an accepted?
A person's repentance is an indication that Allah willed good for him and granted him success in repenting. Allah accepts repentance from His servants and pardons evil deeds. Abandoning prayer is among the worst sins. If one abandons it while denying its obligation, he is a disbeliever. If he abandons it out of laziness, scholars have differed on whether he is deemed a disbeliever or not. The person must make up for the prayers he missed to the best of his ability. Performing prayer is according to one's capacity: standing; if unable, then sitting; if unable, then on one's side.
