Is it obligatory to make up prayers if I don't wake up for them due to sleep, knowing that I sleep for three or four hours?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

One must make up a prayer immediately upon waking up if they slept through its time, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever forgets a prayer or sleeps through it, its expiation is to pray it when he remembers it." One must also take the necessary measures to help wake up for prayer, such as going to bed early and using an alarm clock.
