How is the Fajr prayer made up if a servant sleeps through it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the evidence?

The Shaykh : The evidence is that it is established that when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) slept through the Fajr prayer while traveling, and they woke up after the sun had risen, he prayed the regular voluntary prayer of Fajr, then he prayed the Fajr prayer.

The questioner : Because he did not pray the Fajr prayer!

The Shaykh : Huh?

The questioner : Because he did not pray the Fajr prayer?!

The Shaykh : Yes, yes.

The questioner : He slept through the Fajr prayer, so he made it up.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : But what about the other regular voluntary prayers?

The Shaykh : As long as it is established that they are made up, because if the regular voluntary prayer were missed by the passing of its time, it would not be made up. Then, the general statement of the Messenger (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 فليصلها إذا ذكرها
, yes.
