Should the 'Isha, Shaf' and Witr prayers be made up if missed?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the 'Isha prayer is missed until dawn breaks, then if this was done intentionally, one has committed a grave sin, and repentance is obligatory along with making up the prayer. However, if the prayer was missed due to sleep or forgetfulness, there is no sin, and it must be made up whenever remembered. It is legislated to make up the Sunnah prayer along with the obligatory one, such as making up the Sunnah of Fajr with its obligatory prayer. Similarly, it is legislated to make up the Witr prayer for one who slept through it during the day.
