The Ruling on Making Up the Regular Voluntary Prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: If a person has to make up the regular voluntary prayers, for example the ones attached to the midday prayer, does he perform them as four rak'ahs in one go, or does he pray them as two rak'ahs, then two rak'ahs?
Answer:
The better option is for him to perform them as two rak'ahs, then two rak'ahs. If he combines them as four rak'ahs with a single closing salam, in the manner of the midday prayer, the jurists say it is permissible during the day. Is it permissible specifically during the day? As for the night, no; the night prayer is performed in pairs of two.
