Are the two rak'ahs of Fajr made up after the Fajr prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Are the two rak'ahs of Fajr among the prayers with specific causes? And does a person make them up after the Fajr prayer?

Answer:
The regular voluntary prayer (rawatib) of Fajr is performed before the obligatory prayer, after the dawn has appeared. Once he is certain that the dawn has appeared, he prays the rawatib. If he is unable to do so because the people have started praying, he prays with them. When he finishes the prayer, he stands up and performs the rawatib. If he wishes, he may delay it until after the sun has risen. He has the choice: if he wishes, he prays it immediately after the dawn, and if he wishes, he prays it after the sun has risen. This is specific to the rawatib of Fajr because it is emphasized. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not leave the two rak'ahs of Fajr, meaning the rawatib. He did not leave them whether traveling or resident.
