Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding making it up.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : Regarding making up the night prayer.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : He slept through the night prayer... and prayed it in the time between Fajr and Zuhr... a prayer.
The Shaykh : What is the problem? The night prayer is not made up, as we said, it is not made up. We said that it is made up as an even number. If he used to pray Witr with six, he makes it five, or he makes it six. Yes, O 'Abd Allah.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Who? Yes, ah. If he intends to perform it in its proper time, that is one thing. But as for making it up, this is a rule the jurists took from the hadiths: "Making it up mirrors performing it", meaning it corresponds to and resembles it. Yes, what is it?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, if it was due to an excuse, there is no harm. But if it was without an excuse, then it is not made up. The adhan ended after the prayer, after the time.
