Question:
May Allah reward you. Is it Umm Basim from Abha? Please, sister, go ahead, Umm Basim. Umm Basim, turn off the television a little, may Allah keep you safe. Please, please. Please, Umm Basim. Hello. Yes. Peace be upon you. And upon you, peace. May I speak to the Shaykh? Please, but raise your voice a little. I have an appointment with Salih. Yes, you have an appointment with Salih. What is his name? I don't know how to make up the prayer now. Yes, making up a prayer. Yes. I don't know whether to leave it with each obligatory prayer, one by one, or to do them all together; I mean, I don't know. Okay, Honorable Shaykh, the sister Umm Basim says she has to make up prayers. Does she make up these prayers with each obligatory prayer, or does she list them all out?
Answer:
Yes, it is obligatory for her to hasten to make up the missed prayers. She makes them up immediately, in order: the five prayers of the first day, then the second day, and so on until she is finished. She does not delay them to other times, as some of the common people think. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So it is obligatory to make up the missed prayers immediately, in order. If there are many and she divides them over periods according to her ability, there is no harm, but as much as she can, she should hasten to make them up and clear her conscience of them, for this is obligatory upon her. Yes.

Whoever forgets a prayer or sleeps through it, let him pray it when he remembers it or wakes up. There is no expiation for it except that.
من نسي صلاة أو نام عنها فليصلها إذا ذكرها أو استيقظ لا كفارة لها إلا ذلك.
