Making Up Missed Voluntary Prayers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: If a person is accustomed to praying the voluntary prayers, is he required to make up any of them if he misses them?

Answer:
Voluntary prayers are not made up except for those for which there is evidence regarding their makeup. There is evidence that the witr prayer is made up if it is missed from the night, and there is evidence that the rawatib (regular voluntary prayers) performed before an obligatory prayer are made up after it.
For example, the rawatib of Fajr. If you arrive and the prayer is being established, or the people are praying, pray with them. When you have finished the prayer, you perform the rawatib after it, or you delay it until after the sun has risen. This is what the evidence indicates: that the rawatib of Fajr is made up. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made up the rawatib of Zuhr that is performed before the obligatory prayer when he was occupied and missed it; he (peace and blessings be upon him) made it up. So, of the voluntary prayers, only those for which there is evidence are made up. Yes.
