The ruling on making up the Fajr prayer after its time has passed

Question:
He says: If a Muslim misses the Fajr prayer, especially at its appointed time, and gets up to perform it at eight in the morning, does he pray the two obligatory rak'ahs and the recommended practice, or does he suffice with the two obligatory rak'ahs?

Answer:
If its time has passed and he prays it, this is not performing it in its proper time but making it up. So the questioner should ask about making it up, not about performing it. It is obligatory for him to make it up immediately. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no expiation for it except that. So he prays it, but he should not make this a habit for himself, saying, "I will sleep, and then I will get up and pray," as some lazy people do. Rather, he should get up and pray. But if sleep overcomes him on some occasions and he does not wake up until after the time has passed, he should hasten to pray. He should also pray the regular voluntary prayers that come before it, if there are any, by praying them before the obligatory prayer. Yes.
