Are the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib) made up?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, are the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib) made up? For example, if I arrived for the midday prayer (Zuhr) after the second call (iqamah) had been made?

Answer:
Yes. If you missed the regular voluntary prayer (rawatib) before the midday prayer (Zuhr), you make it up after the midday prayer. You make it up after the midday prayer, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) made up the regular voluntary prayer (rawatib) before the midday prayer. So you make it up if you missed it. Yes, because it is a regular voluntary prayer (rawatib) and it has great virtue. Making it up after the midday prayer is better than leaving it. As for the regular voluntary prayer (rawatib) of the dawn prayer (Fajr), if you did not perform it before the dawn prayer, you perform it after the dawn prayer or after the sun has risen. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man praying after the dawn prayer. He asked him, and he said that he had not prayed the regular voluntary prayer (rawatib) of the dawn prayer. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) left him as he was, and this is making up the regular voluntary prayer (rawatib). Yes.
