Does praying in the Sacred Mosque (Masjid al-Haram) suffice for making up numerous missed prayers?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Whoever has indulged in sins must repent and seek forgiveness, make up for the prayers they missed, and resolve not to abandon them again. The virtue of prayer in the Sacred Mosque (Masjid al-) is immense, for "a prayer in the Sacred Mosque is better than one hundred thousand prayers elsewhere." However, this multiplication of reward does not substitute for performing the missed prayers, as one prayer counts only for one prayer.
