Which does the one who missed a prayer start with, the missed one or the current one?

The questioner : Okay, if the prayer is the second question: if a prayer was missed and she did not pray it, and the time for the prayer came again.

The Shaykh : The first prayer that she left off, was it for an excuse or without an excuse?

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : The prayer that you left off, why did you leave it off?

The questioner : For example, if she was busy, or it was missed by her, and she had people with her, or she went out, for example.

The Shaykh : It is not permissible to be busy with anything to the neglect of the prayer, ever. The prayer is above everything, and it is obligatory for her to repent to Allah for what she did.

The questioner : What I want to know, Honorable Shaykh, is: for the one who is present, or the one who missed it, which does she start with?

The Shaykh : She starts with the one that was missed, unless she fears that the time for the current prayer will end, in which case she starts with the current one.
