If I miss the time of a prayer, should I pray it with its corresponding time, or should I pray it when I remember it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If I miss the time of a prayer, should I pray it with its corresponding time, or should I pray it when I remember it? May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
It is obligatory to hasten to make up the prayer whose time has passed, whether due to sleep or forgetfulness, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
Whoever forgets a prayer or sleeps through it, let him pray it when he remembers it. There is no expiation for it except that.من نسي صلاة أو نام عنها فليصلها إذا ذكرها، لا كفارة لها إلا ذلك،
Sunan ad-Darimi 2:45
Therefore, it is obligatory to hasten to make up the missed prayer, and it should not be delayed until the time similar to it, because this is from the saying of the common people.

The presenter:
Mm.

The Shaykh:
And there is no basis for it in the Shari'ah. The Lawgiver commanded to hasten to make up the missed prayer at whatever time one remembers it, or wakes up from sleep; he should hasten to make it up at whatever time.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
