The ruling on making up the Sunnah of Fajr after Fajr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Yes. If one is unable to recite the Sunnah of the Fajr prayer, is it permissible to recite it immediately after the prayer, or when the Fajr prayer is clearly being recited?
The Shaykh:
If the Sunnah of Fajr is missed before the prayer, one may pray it immediately after the prayer. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man praying after Fajr, so he asked him about it. The man said that he had missed the two rak'ahs of Fajr, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approved of that for him and did not rebuke him.
However, the scholars say that if one delays it until the time of Duha, that is better. If one delays the two rak'ahs of Fajr until the time of Duha, that is better. And if one fears that he will forget it or that he will be occupied with something else, it is better for him to pray it after Fajr so that it is not lost. But if he does not forget it and is not occupied with something else, it is better for him to delay it until the sun has risen.
