Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. What is the ruling on making up the sunnah prayers other than the sunnah of Fajr?

Answer:
The sunnah prayers are not made up if their time has passed, because they are a sunnah whose place has passed, except for the rawatib of Fajr. It is established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approved of those he saw praying it after Fajr. Yes, and that is due to the importance of the two rak'ahs of Fajr, and because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he slept during one of his journeys with his Companions and they were not woken until the heat of the sun, prayed the rawatib of Fajr before it, and then prayed Fajr. Also, among the voluntary prayers that are made up are the night prayer and witr. If a person sleeps through his night prayer and his witr, it is recommended that he make them up during the day, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do so, but he makes his witr an even number. As for qunut, it is a sunnah, and qunut in witr is a sunnah. If a person leaves it out, his witr is valid, and if he performs it, that is better.
