The questioner : First, your brother Hizam sends his greetings to you.
The Shaykh : Hizam.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : What is the news?
The questioner : He married a second wife.
The Shaykh : What Allah willed.
The questioner : In my house, two weeks ago.
The Shaykh : Your wife is in...
The questioner : He married a second wife in my house two weeks ago.
The Shaykh : In your house?
The questioner : I arranged the contract for him, and he married in my house.
The Shaykh : What Allah willed.
The questioner : He sends his greetings to you.
The Shaykh : And to you, and upon him be peace.
The questioner : There is an issue where we saw him praying the Sunnah of Fajr when he was late, immediately after the obligatory prayer, so we asked him about it.
The Shaykh : After the obligatory prayer.
The questioner : Immediately after the obligatory prayer.
The Shaykh : Why does he not pray it beforehand?
The questioner : He does not catch it; he may have been late.
The Shaykh : Ah, okay.
The questioner : He does not recite the dhikr, so we asked him, and he said, "I saw Shaykh Nasser doing this." So I said, "Did you ask him for evidence?" He said, "Ask him yourself." So here we are now asking?
The Shaykh : ... What is the concern, meaning, in your view?
The questioner : I heard you once say that the one who does not recite the dhikr immediately after the prayer and stands up to pray the Sunnah, the dhikr is dropped from him.
The Shaykh : Yes, this is regarding the Sunnah after the prayer.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : No, regarding making up the Sunnah.
The questioner : Okay, for making up the Sunnah, he makes it up immediately after...
The Shaykh : Ah, because this occurred in the time of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him); this exact scenario occurred in its very form and substance.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said the closing salam from the Fajr prayer and saw a man who stood up immediately.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So he said: or he said to him: When he finished the two rak'ahs, he said: "O Messenger of Allah, I entered the mosque and the prayer was being performed, so I had not prayed the two rak'ahs of Fajr, so these are they." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent.
The Shaykh : Hizam.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : What is the news?
