The Ruling on Making Up Missed Sunnah Prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Making up missed sunnah prayers is permissible.
The Shaykh : May Allah bless you. The ruling on making up sunnah prayers is the same as the ruling on making up obligatory prayers.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : If a person misses a prayer intentionally, there is no making it up. If he misses it unintentionally, then he must make it up.
The questioner : The evidence, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : The evidence, for example, is his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the witr prayer: "Whoever sleeps through the witr prayer or forgets it, let him pray it when he remembers it." He said this about the witr just as he said it about the obligatory prayer, exactly the same.
The questioner : You, our Shaykh, and may Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : And may He bless you.
The questioner : May Allah be pleased with you. You have lived long by our visits, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Come, come, soon, if Allah wills.
