What to do when one misses a prayer
Question: 2461
If a person missed a the scheduled prayer.Is it necessary to still pray it at another time. For example if I missed the fajr prayer can I still pray it later on?
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
The answer to this question may be found in the following ahaadeeth:
Anas ibn Maalik said: “The Messenger of Allaah
(peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘If one of you sleeps and misses a prayer, or
forgets it, then let him pray it as soon as he remembers, because Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning): ‘… and perform al-salaah for My
remembrance.’ [Ta-Ha 20:14]”
(Reported by Muslim, 1104).
Abu Hurayrah reported that the Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever forgets the prayer, let
him pray as soon as he remembers, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
‘… and perform al-salaah for My remembrance.’ [Ta-Ha 20:14]”
(Reported
by Muslim, 1097).
Anas ibn Maalik reported that the Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever forgets a prayer, let him
pray it as soon as he remembers, for there is no expiation for it except this.”
(Reported
by Muslim, 1102).
And Allaah knows best.
