Making up the missed regular voluntary prayers after the obligatory prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: On some days I do not catch the regular voluntary prayers, meaning before the obligatory prayer, so I make them up after the prayer. Is my action correct?

The Shaykh:
For Fajr, yes. If the regular voluntary prayer before Fajr is missed, you make it up after Fajr. There is evidence for this. It is reported that whoever misses the regular voluntary prayer before Fajr makes it up after Fajr, or delays it until the sun has risen.
As for the other regular voluntary prayers, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did make up the regular voluntary prayer of Zuhr after 'Asr. However, they said this was specific to him (peace and blessings be upon him) because whenever he did something, he established it as a practice (peace and blessings be upon him), whereas others do not. Some scholars say there is no harm in doing so, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) made it up after 'Asr, so we make it up following his example (peace and blessings be upon him). This is a broad matter. Yes.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh:
The regular voluntary prayer of Fajr is not to be left, because it is emphasized both in residence and in travel, and it is not to be left. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
