AL-KAFI #1608 : MANA LEBIH UTAMA MENDAHULUKAN QADHA’ SOLAT FARDHU DAHULU ATAU MENGERJAKAN SOLAT FARDHU TUNAI
Should one make up a missed Fajr prayer first, or perform the current Zuhr prayer first?
Short answer
In the Shafi'i school, making up a prayer missed due to a valid excuse such as sleeping or forgetting is recommended to be done promptly, and it is recommended to perform it before the current obligatory prayer if one is certain the current prayer's time will not lapse.

Summary
In the Shafi'i school, making up a prayer missed due to a valid excuse such as sleeping or forgetting is recommended to be done promptly, and it is recommended to perform it before the current obligatory prayer if one is certain the current prayer's time will not lapse. If there is fear that the current prayer's time will run out, the current prayer must be performed first. Certainty is measured by being able to obtain at least one rak'ah of the current prayer within its time. If a prayer was left without a valid excuse, making it up promptly is obligatory.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dan disunatkan mendahulukan solat qadha' yang ditinggalkan kerana uzur syar'ie ke atas solat fardhu tunai sekiranya yakin tidak luput waktu solat tunai yang sedia ada
