The time for making up the missed rawatib of Fajr

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person misses the rawatib before the Fajr prayer, is it better for him to pray it immediately after Fajr, or after the sun has risen to the height of a spear?

Answer:
Both are permissible. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man praying after the Fajr prayer, so he asked him about it. The man said that he had not prayed the rawatib before Fajr, so he was praying it now. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approved of that, so this is permissible. However, if he delays it until the sun has risen, that is better, unless he fears forgetting it. If he fears forgetting it or becoming preoccupied, he should pray it after Fajr and not neglect it. Yes.
