The answer is: No. Rather, it remains a liability upon you until you discharge it, even after some time has passed. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, referred to acts of worship as “a debt” (1). Since he called them “a debt,” they must be made up, even if they were abandoned without an excuse.

The evidence of those who say that making it up is not obligatory when it was missed without an excuse is as follows:

First: This time-bound prayer has a defined beginning and end, and what is delimited is defined by its time. Allah says: “Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers at specified times.” [al-Nisa 4:103] That is, it is to be performed within this time. If someone delays it beyond that time without an excuse, he has performed it in a manner other than that in which it was prescribed. He has therefore deliberately omitted one of its obligatory requirements, so it is not valid—just as it is not valid if one deliberately prays without ablution and without an excuse.....

Second: If he delays it beyond its time without an excuse, he has performed it in a manner that he was not commanded to perform. It is authentically reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Whoever does an act that is not in accordance with our command, it is rejected.” (2) This is an explicit, general text: “Whoever does an act”—that is, any act whatsoever, since it is an indefinite noun occurring in a conditional clause and therefore conveys generality—“it is rejected,” meaning that it is refused.

Third: If someone deliberately performs it before its time, then his prayer is not sufficient for him by scholarly consensus (3). So what difference is there between performing it before its time and performing it after its time? In either case, he has transgressed the limits set by Allah, Exalted is He, and taken the act of worship outside its appointed time: “And whoever transgresses the limits of Allah—then it is those who are the wrongdoers.” [al-Baqarah 2:229]
