The Ruling on Making Up Voluntary Prayers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Another questioner says: Shaykh, what is the ruling on making up voluntary prayers?

Answer:
As for voluntary prayers, it is established that the regular voluntary prayer of Fajr, if it is missed, is made up after the sun has risen. Likewise, the Witr prayer, if it is missed and Fajr breaks while he has not prayed it, he makes it up. This is what is established as being made up. As for anything else, if the time for a voluntary prayer passes, it is not made up. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do so because this was specific to him, for he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to complete any deed he started. Yes.
