#55 Taudhih Al-Hukmi : Hukum Mendahulukan Solat Sunat Dari Qada’ Solat Fardu
Is it permissible to perform voluntary prayers before completing the make-up of missed obligatory prayers?
Short answer
If obligatory prayers were missed due to a valid excuse such as sleeping or forgetting, making them up promptly is recommended and voluntary prayers are permitted before the make-up is complete.
A reference, not a fatwa. First sentence of the summary below — read the original fatwa and consult your state authority before acting.

Summary
If obligatory prayers were missed due to a valid excuse such as sleeping or forgetting, making them up promptly is recommended and voluntary prayers are permitted before the make-up is complete. If they were missed without an excuse, prompt make-up is obligatory and voluntary prayers are not permitted until the make-up is done. A voluntary prayer performed in that situation is still valid, but the person is sinful for delaying the make-up.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Secara jelasnya, solat sunat yang dilakukan itu adalah sah namun pelakunya dikira berdosa kerana hukum menggantikan solat fardu yang tertinggal tanpa keuzuran adalah wajib disegerakan sebagaimana yang telah dinyatakan di atas.
