The ruling on making up the Sunnah of Fajr after the Fajr prayer and its relation to the prohibition

Question:
This questioner, whose questions we reviewed in part in the previous episode, has a set of questions remaining on this paper. He says: Shaykh Salih, what is the ruling on making up the Sunnah of Fajr after the Fajr prayer for one who was unable to do so? Does this conflict with the prohibition of praying after the Fajr prayer?

Answer:
, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. Yes, it is established that there is a prohibition against praying after the Fajr prayer until the sun has risen to the height of a spear. However, if one missed the rawatib (regular voluntary prayers) before Fajr, there is no harm in praying them immediately after Fajr. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man praying after Fajr, so he asked him about it. The man informed him that it was the rawatib of Fajr which he had missed before the prayer, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approved of that. However, it is better to delay it until the sun has risen, provided one does not fear forgetting it or becoming preoccupied with it. If one delays it, that is better, but if one prays it immediately after Fajr, that is permissible for him. Yes.
