What is the ruling on one who leaves the prayer out of forgetfulness?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A woman came to the mosque in Ramadan to pray the 'Isha' prayer. When she arrived at the mosque, the 'Isha' prayer had already been completed, and the imam had begun the tarawih prayer. She prayed tarawih with them and forgot to pray 'Isha'. What is the ruling?

Answer:
She should pray it when she remembers it. The one who forgets is excused. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever forgets a prayer or sleeps through it, let him pray it when he remembers it.من نسي صلاة أو نام عنها فليصلها إذا ذكرها
Sunan ad-Darimi 2:45
. So as long as she forgot, and praise be to Allah, she owes no expiation other than that. Yes. However, if she intentionally delays it, that is not permissible. It is not permissible for her to delay 'Isha'. Ah. She should pray tarawih, but rather she should pray 'Isha' first and then pray tarawih. Yes.
