Afwan akhee al kareem, i did not go through this before. I do have a question though. One that has been on my mind for sometime now. If i miss one of my rawaatab sunnah prayers, for example, the 4 before Dhuhr, maybe due to sleep or even delibrately sometimes, can i make them up after the time for Dhuhr has passed? My question thus encompasses all those Rawaatib sunnah prayers. BaarakAllaahu feek
إذا نسي أحدكم صلاة أونام عنها فليصلها إذا ذكرها
Meaning: “If one of you sleeps through a prayer or forgets it, then he is to pray it when he remembers it.” (Muslim, on the authority of Anas)
The wording of the hadeeth is general and thus includes non-obligatory prayers. For those who insist on it being specific to obligatory prayers, then by qiyaas (fah-wal-khitaab) – What has even more clear permissibility to be made up would be the non-obligatory prayers, and Allaah knows best.
JazaakAllaahu khayra akhee. But what about the other case the brother mentioned – when one misses the sunnah prayers deliberately?
Then he focuses on the upcoming prayers and their related nawaafil, asking Allaah for assistance. No repentance, regret, expiation, or replacement necessary for missed nawaafil, even the highly stressed ones. (Sorry for the delay.) And Allaah knows best.
