The Ruling on Making Up the Regular Voluntary Prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What is the ruling on making up the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib) while I am driving a car, and is it required to face the qiblah for them?
The Shaykh:
The regular voluntary prayers (rawatib) are not made up except for the Fajr rawatib, and it is reported that they are made up. As for the rest of the rawatib, if they are missed, they are not made up, because they are a recommended practice (sunnah) whose time has passed; making up prayers is specific to the obligatory prayers.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you. He says: A merchant wants to lend me money on bad terms.
The Shaykh:
The Fajr rawatib is made up, and likewise the night prayer (qiyam al-layl); it is reported that it is made up. The night prayer is made up as the Duha prayer. These two prayers—the night prayer and the Fajr rawatib—yes.
