Can one who intentionally abandons the Sunnah prayer before Dhuhr make it up after the [obligatory] prayer?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If one misses the (supererogatory prayer) of Dhuhr that is performed before the obligatory prayer, it is recommended for him to pray it after the obligatory prayer, based on what Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated: "When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not pray four rak'ahs before Dhuhr, he would pray them after it." The time for this Sunnah extends until the end of the time for the obligatory prayer and does not conclude with its performance. This is the view of the Hanafis, and it is the sound opinion among the Shafi'is.
