The ruling on making up the 'Asr and Maghrib prayers after praying 'Isha'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: I suffered from stomach irritation, which resulted in diarrhea, so I did not pray the 'Asr and Maghrib prayers. At the time of the 'Isha' prayer, Allah healed me, and I prayed 'Isha' with the congregation. After that, I prayed 'Asr and Maghrib. Is my action correct?
Answer:
This is an error, if what was obligatory upon you was to pray in order: you should have prayed 'Asr and Maghrib, then prayed 'Isha'. However, what happened to you and what you did, we hope is valid due to the excuse of ignorance. According to the fatwa of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, if one fears missing the congregation for the current prayer, he prays it with them, even if he delays the past prayer, in order to preserve the congregation. But the majority say: No, order is necessary, order is necessary. So what you did is an error, but we hope your prayer is valid. If you repeated the three prayers—'Asr, Maghrib, and 'Isha'—in order, that would be more cautious. Yes.
