The time for making up the missed night prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh, regarding the night prayer, if a person forgets it or is lazy about it until the day breaks, is it made up after the midday prayer?

Answer:
Yes, it is made up, but between the rising of the sun and the sun reaching the middle of the sky, or at the time of the midday prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), if he missed the night prayer, would make it up during the day in this time, between the sun rising a spear’s length and the time when the sun is in the middle of the sky, just before the midday prayer. He (peace and blessings be upon him) would make it up in this time and pair it with the witr; he would pair the witr. Yes.
