Making Up the Missed Nafl Prayers<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Is it permissible to make up the nafl<\/em> prayers (sunnah prayers) in case I missed them such as offering the sunnah before or after Zhuhr<\/em><\/a> (Noon Prayer) after `Asr<\/em><\/a> (Afternoon Prayer)?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is an authentic evidence in the Sunnah<\/em> of the Prophet<\/a> (peace be upon him) that it is permitted for one to offer the missed nafl<\/em> <\/a>prayers after their prescribed times.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It was narrated that Um Salamah says: “Messenger of Allah, I heard you prohibiting these two rak`ahs<\/em>, whereas I saw you observing them; and if he (the Prophet) points with his hand (to wait), then do wait. The slave-girl did like that. He (the Prophet) pointed out with his hand and she got aside and waited, and when he had finished (the prayer) he said: “Daughter of Abu Umaiyah. you have asked about the two rak`ahs<\/em> after the `Asr<\/em> prayer. Some people of ‘Abu Al-Qais came to me for embracing Islam and hindered me from observing the two rak`ahs<\/em> which come after the noon prayer. So those are the two I have been praying.” (Bukhari and Muslim)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

`A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said, “If the Prophet (peace be upon him) did not pray four rak`ahs<\/em> before Zhuhr<\/em>, he would pray them afterwards.” (Authenticated by Al-Albani)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
