The obligation of one who sleeps through the Fajr prayer and wakes up after the sun has risen

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. The listener is 'Abd al-Raziq Hasan 'Abd al-Raziq, a Sudanese resident of al-Muzahimiyah. Through his brother 'Abdullah Hamad Hamid, he sent a collection of questions. In one of them, he says: If a person sleeps through the Fajr prayer and then wakes up after the sun has risen, does he use the miswak first and then pray, or the other way around? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
It is obligatory for him to hasten when he wakes up to perform wudu' and to perform the rawatib prayer that comes before Fajr, and then to pray the Fajr prayer. This is based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him):
Whoever forgets a prayer or sleeps through it, let him pray it when he remembers it. There is no expiation for it other than that.مَنْ نَسِيَ صَلَاةً أَوْ نَامَ عَنْهَا فَلْيُصَلِّهَا إِذَا ذَكَرَهَا، لا كفارة لها إلا ذلك.
Sunan ad-Darimi 2:45
And using the miswak during wudu' is among the recommended practices and the sunnah. Yes.
