Continuation of the explanation of the author's statement: "... in order..."

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : I think we stopped at "in order". All right.
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "And it is obligatory to make up the missed prayers immediately, in order". This means he starts with them in sequence. If he has five prayers to make up, he begins with the midday prayer: he prays the midday prayer, then the afternoon prayer, then the sunset prayer, then the night prayer, then the dawn prayer. All right, because there are five, we said five obligatory prayers, starting from the midday prayer: he prays the midday prayer, then the afternoon prayer, then the sunset prayer, then the night prayer, then the dawn prayer.
All right, what is the evidence? We can take it from his saying:
Let him pray it فليصلها
Because this includes the specific prayer, the manner of the prayer, and also the place of the prayer. And if it includes the place, then it must be in its proper place in the sequence. For example, the midday prayer is prayed between the dawn prayer and what? And the afternoon prayer. And in that case, he has prayed it, right? And likewise, the sunset prayer is between the afternoon prayer and the night prayer.
So, from this hadith
Let him pray it فليصلها
, may Allah reward you, we derive even the obligation of order, because if he prays them as they are, they must be in their proper place. And it is also established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he missed five prayers at the Trench and made them up in order. And likewise, in combining prayers, he would combine the two prayers and start with what? With the first one. So all these proofs indicate that it is obligatory to maintain order in making up missed prayers. All right, does the order drop off due to one of the excuses?
