Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : My Shaykh, regarding a man who missed a prayer, if he prays, does he pray two rak'ahs without the takbirs?

The Shaykh : You mean without the takbirs, which takbirs?

The questioner : I mean the seven and the five; he prays a regular prayer...

The Shaykh : We have finished praying... He missed it alone and wants to pray alone; he prays two rak'ahs without a khutbah, but he prays them as they are, or as they are with the raising, meaning.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : As for if they are a group, they pray as a group in a house or in another place with a khutbah, and as is the rule.

The questioner : Yes... Peace be upon you, he missed it alone, I said now he prays two rak'ahs?

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : I asked you, my Shaykh, and you told me he prays four?

The Shaykh : He prays two rak'ahs with the group.

The questioner : With the group, but if he is an individual, he prays four.

The Shaykh : ... He prays four.

The questioner : Four regular rak'ahs.

The Shaykh : Like the one who missed the Jumu'ah prayer.

The questioner : Yes, without the takbirs? Yes.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : Our Shaykh, what is the evidence for this here?

The Shaykh : There is no clear evidence for it.
