If One Realized that the Shortage of his Prayers is Equal to the Extent of Ihtiyat Prayers after Offering Ihtiyat Prayers
Issue No.1091- If a person realises after Precautionary Prayers, that the deficiency in his original prayers was equal to Precautionary Prayers, like if he offers 1 Rak’at of Precautionary Prayers in the case of doubt about 3 and 4 Rak’ats, and it transpires later that he had actually offered 3 Rak’ats in the original prayers, his prayers will be in order. And if he realises that the deficiency in his original prayers was less than the Precautionary Prayers, he should, as an obligatory precaution, offer the deficiency of the prayers immediately, and should also repeat his original prayers. And if he learns that the deficiency of his original prayers was more than the Precautionary Prayers, if he has not performed an act after the Precautionary Prayers which invalidates the prayers, the obligatory precaution is that he should perform the deficiency of the prayers and then repeat his original prayers as well.
