How to make up the rak'ahs missed while praying behind the imam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
If a worshipper misses the first two rak'ahs of the 'Isha', 'Asr, or Zuhr prayer, when he stands to make them up, does he pray one rak'ah, then sit and recite the first tashahhud, and then pray the other rak'ah? Or does he pray them without a tashahhud? And what is the ruling if he misses three rak'ahs of a four-rak'ah prayer?
Answer: If he misses two rak'ahs of the Maghrib prayer, when he stands he performs one rak'ah, then sits and recites the first tashahhud. This is because the Sunnah in the Maghrib prayer is to sit after the second rak'ah for the first tashahhud. When he recites one rak'ah, it is added to what he caught up with the imam, making the total two rak'ahs. He then sits for the first tashahhud, then stands and performs the third rak'ah alone, reciting the Qur'an in it as is done in the Maghrib prayer. As for the 'Isha' prayer, if he misses two rak'ahs, he performs them consecutively. This is because there is no sitting in them except for the final sitting, which is the last sitting, as is well known.
