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.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.
