Buya Yahya quoted the fatwa of Imam Ibnu Hajar al-Haitami in the book Fatawa al-Kubra al-Fiqhiyah that the practice of kafarat prayer is not justified and is strictly prohibited, whatever the model of kafarat prayer.
Imam Ibnu Hajar al-Haitami’s fatwa is quoted again by his students such as Sheikh Zainuddin al-Malibari in the fiqh book Irsyadul ‘Ibad. Then the book lecturer Fathul Mu’in, Abu Bakar Syatha who quoted the fatwa.
“Apart from Ibnu Hajar al-Haitami’s fatwa, there is no fatwa that is accurate, meaning with the arguments,” said Buya Yahya.
Buya Yahya explained that the matter of replacing obligatory prayers that are left behind in fiqh is known as qadha prayer. Qadha obligatory prayer is done when you are sure that there are prayers that have been left out and you know the total number. That’s the first.
“The second is that we are sure to leave but do not know the number. So the second one can perform qadha but it is calculated first (how many prayers are left). The third is that there is no certainty that no one is left behind, no one suspects that no one is left behind,” said Buya Yahya.
What if there was a prayer that was not solemn in the past? The answer is not diqadha, but will be perfected with sunnah prayers performed such as sunnah rawatib prayers.
