The answer

The disagreement regarding making up intentionally missed prayers is a strong one. Many esteemed scholars, such as Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, are of the opinion that there is no obligation to make them up. An ordinary person should follow the scholar whose knowledge and piety they trust. A person afflicted with obsessive-compulsive disorder (waswasah) incurs no sin by following the easiest opinion, so as to remove hardship.
