Continuation of the explanation of the author's statement: "…and it is obligatory to make up the missed prayers immediately, in order…"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Making up the missed prayers in order, in order, means starting with them in sequence. For example, we forgot to say "immediately." It is obligatory to make up the missed prayers immediately. "Immediately" means hastening to do something, as Allah the Exalted said: [Ali 'Imran 3:125] "Immediately" means the thing that is hastened to. So the meaning of "immediately" is that one must hasten to make up the missed prayers. Here is evidence and a reason.
As for the evidence, it is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Let him pray it." The lam is for command. When? When he remembers it. This indicates that it is made up immediately upon remembering it. On the day he remembers, he prays; on the day he wakes up, he prays. This is the evidence: .
The reason is that this is a debt obligatory upon him, and what is obligatory requires hastening, because a person does not know what may befall him if he delays. Also, if a person accustoms himself to negligence and laziness in acts of obedience, he becomes accustomed to it, and it becomes a character trait for him. Therefore, one must hasten. We can also cite as evidence your saying: The lam is for command, and the original ruling of a command is obligation and immediacy, as we have passed through in the principles of jurisprudence. The original ruling is obligation and immediacy. If you say, "Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) not order them to move from their place to another place when he woke up?" The answer is yes, but he explained that it was a place where Satan had been present, so it is not appropriate to pray in places where Satan is present. For this reason, prayer is prohibited in the bathroom because it is a refuge for devils, and in the open fields and the like. Indeed, prayer is also prohibited in the enclosures of camels because they were created from devils. This does not mean their substance is from devils; rather, they were created from devils because they possess a great deal of the character traits of devils. And if a created thing possesses a great deal of a specific trait, it is attributed to it. For this reason, Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Anbya 21:37] even though he was created from clay, but because his nature is haste, it is as if he originated from it, as if it is the element of his existence.
So, if someone asks how we answer regarding this hadith, the answer is that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) explained that it was a place where the devils were present, so it is not appropriate to pray in a place where the devils are present. And this does not indicate that immediacy is not obligatory, even though some scholars said that immediacy is not obligatory because of this hadith. Yes.

ويأتوكم من فورهم هذاAs for the evidence, it is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Whoever sleeps through a prayer or forgets it, let him pray it when he remembers it.
من نام عن صلاة أو نسيها فليُصلها إذا ذكرهاLet him pray it when he remembers it
فليصلها إذا ذكرهاThe reason is that this is a debt obligatory upon him, and what is obligatory requires hastening, because a person does not know what may befall him if he delays. Also, if a person accustoms himself to negligence and laziness in acts of obedience, he becomes accustomed to it, and it becomes a character trait for him. Therefore, one must hasten. We can also cite as evidence your saying:
Let him pray it
