The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A person forgot an obligatory prayer and then remembered it after the time had passed, while he was in a one-hour lesson. Is it permissible for him to delay performing it or making it up until the end of the lesson?
The Shaykh:
No, he stands up and prays it, then returns to the lesson. He prays it when he remembers it. Whoever forgets a prayer or sleeps through it should pray it when he remembers it. There is no expiation for it other than that. He stands up, prays, and returns to the lesson. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
The questioner:
And no.
The Shaykh:
He was in a class; he would leave the class, perform wudu, pray, and return to the class. Yes.
