Question
A speaker over Radio Shaitaan said that since Allah Ta'ala is Most Merciful, there is no need to make Qadha Salaat. It will suffice to seek forgiveness for Salaat missed in the past. Is this correct?
Answer
This contention is kufr. There is no compensation for missed Salaat other than making Qadha. If the speaker did in fact say that seeking forgiveness without making Qadha is sufficient, then he truly is an incorrigible ignoramus, and the radio station having abstained from correcting this baatil, has colluded with the ignoramus in this gross error and kufr. In the unanimous ruling of all Math-habs, Qadha of missed Fardh Salaat is likewise Fardh.
