A man slept before the midday prayer until after the afternoon prayer, then woke up and prayed the midday prayer thinking it was still within its time - Ibn

Question : The questioner says: If I prayed the midday prayer during the time of the afternoon prayer, and I did not know that the time for the afternoon prayer had entered, and then it became clear to me that the time for the afternoon prayer had entered, is it obligatory for me to repeat the midday prayer?

Answer : You do not have to repeat it. This man says that he woke up from sleep after the time for the afternoon prayer had entered, so he prayed the midday prayer thinking that its time had not passed. Then it became clear to him that it had passed. There is no blame on him, and it is not obligatory for him to repeat the midday prayer.
