Summary
Voluntary prayers tied to a specific time, such as the two Eid prayers, the rawatib prayers and witr, are recommended to be made up if missed. Prayers prompted by a particular event or condition, such as the eclipse prayer, cannot be made up. The fatwa adopts this view because many hadiths support it, while Imam Abu Hanifah, Imam Malik and Qadhi Abu Yusuf held that voluntary prayers are not made up.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, kami memilih pandangan bahawa qadha solat sunat yang terikat dengan waktu seperti solat sunat dua hari Raya, solat sunat rawatib dan solat sunat witir, sunat untuk digantikan jika tertinggal.
