Making up the missed prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: What is the ruling on one who forgets the 'Isha' prayer and does not remember it until the time of the Fajr prayer? Please inform us of this, may Allah reward you.
Answer: First, it is obligatory for the Muslim to take care of his prayer, performing it in its time with the congregation, and not to be lazy about it or delay it, because this leads to its loss and forgetting.
As for what happened where a person was overcome by forgetfulness or sleep and did not perform the prayer in its time because of that, then when he remembers, he must hasten to pray it, whenever he remembers;As he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan ad-Darimi 2:45 ،And Allah the Exalted said: [Taha: 14] .
So when a person wakes up or remembers, it is obligatory for him to hasten to perform the missed prayer whenever that happens to him. He prays the 'Isha' prayer first, then prays the Fajr prayer after it. That is, he prays the missed prayer first, then prays the current prayer, and he does not pray the current prayer before the missed one; because the order is obligatory and necessary.

Whoever forgets a prayer or sleeps through it, let him pray it when he remembers it. There is no expiation for it except that.
من نسي صلاة أو نام عنها فليصلها إذا ذكرها لا كفارة لها إلا ذلكAnd establish prayer for My remembrance
