Summary
A person who missed obligatory prayers must make them up at any time, regardless of how many were missed or how long ago. If they were missed with an excuse such as oversleeping, there is no sin and no duty to make them up immediately. If they were missed deliberately without excuse, the person is sinful and must make them up immediately. In that case, the fatwa rules that performing voluntary prayers before finishing the make-up prayers is forbidden, citing Fathul Muin, Tuhfah al-Muhtaj and Nihayah al-Muhtaj.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
