Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If a person stands up to pray and there is only a little time left before the sun sets, does he start with the obligatory prayer or with the regular voluntary prayer?

The Shaykh:
If a person sleeps through the times for the matters, he prays the voluntary prayer, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did when he slept through the prayer; he prayed the regular voluntary prayer and then prayed the obligatory prayer, (peace and blessings be upon him).

The presenter:
(peace and blessings be upon him).

The Shaykh:
One who is overcome by sleep or forgetfulness, yes.
