If one sleeps through a prayer and wakes up, is it obligatory for him to pray it immediately?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Now, the other question, Shaykh. Yes, if a person sleeps through a prayer with an excuse, sleeping through it until its time has passed due to an excuse, and then he wakes up, is he required to perform or make up the prayer at the very moment he wakes up? And if he delays it, is his delay considered negligence regarding the time?

The Shaykh : He is required to hasten to make up the prayer, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever sleeps through a prayer or forgets it, let him pray it when he remembers it."

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : Meaning, when he wakes up.

The questioner : He began by delaying it.

The Shaykh : I hope you are in good health, if Allah wills.

The presenter : If Allah wills.
