"The order of missed prayers is obligatory, based on what was reported from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, regarding the Battle of Al-Ahzab and Al-Khandaq, where he ordered the prayers that he missed. This is also what was narrated from Ibn Umar, Al-Nakha'i, Al-Zuhri, Rabi'ah, Yahya Al-Ansari, Malik, Al-Layth, Abu Hanifa, and Ishaq."
