The ruling on making up the Fajr sunnah after the prayer

Question:
This questioner asks about the ruling on making up the Fajr sunnah after the Fajr prayer for one who was unable to perform it before the prayer, and whether this contradicts the prohibition of praying after the Fajr prayer?

Answer:
This is an exception; it is permissible to make up the Fajr rawatib after Fajr, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man praying after the Fajr prayer, so he asked him about it, and he informed him that it was the Fajr rawatib, so he left him as he was, and this indicates that the Fajr rawatib is emphasized, that it is among the most emphasized rawatib, and that a Muslim does not leave it, whether resident or traveling, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to be consistent in performing it.
