If the time for the obligatory prayer becomes narrow, does the absolute voluntary prayer become valid?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If the time for the obligatory prayer becomes narrow, does the absolute voluntary prayer become valid in that case, according to two positions?
The Shaykh : Yes, a copy, yes.
The questioner : Yes, and what is possible?
The Shaykh : Yes, a copy, do you not have it, O 'Abd Allah? Yes, indeed.
The questioner : And among them is the one who has a missed prayer.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : On your face.
The Shaykh : It is on the face of the people.
The questioner : Is the absolute voluntary prayer valid before making it up? According to two positions, because making up missed prayers is immediate.
The Shaykh : As for the first, the correct view is to remove "absolute," meaning: does the voluntary prayer become valid, whether it is absolute or restricted? What is an example of a restricted prayer? Like the rawatib (regular voluntary prayers), for example. This man is now in the time of the midday prayer, and the time is narrow; he cannot perform more than the obligatory prayer. Is it permissible for him to pray the rawatib that comes before it, or not? The author says there are two positions on this, and this applies to one who did not stand for prayer until the time had become narrow. As for one who did not stand for prayer until the time had become narrow, he prays the rawatib. This is because, for the sleeper, when does the time begin?
When he wakes up, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: But this which the author mentioned is regarding a man who was negligent with the prayer while he was awake. He says: "When I pray? When I pray?" because the time has passed for him, and only the amount of time to perform the obligatory prayer remains. In this case, we say that voluntary prayer is not valid for you, not even the nafilah (voluntary prayer) before the prayer, because the time is narrow for you. Yes.

Whoever sleeps through a prayer or forgets it, let him pray it when he remembers it.
