One Who Knows He Has Not Offered a Four Rak‘at Prayer But Does Not Know Which One Is It
Issue No. 1201- If a person knows that he has not offered a four rak‘at prayer, but does not know whether it is ẓuhr, ‘aṣr, or ‘ishā’, it will be sufficient to offer a four-rak‘at prayer with the intention of offering “the lapsed prayer which has not been offered”. He has the option to offer sūrah al-fātiḥa and the other sūrah loudly or in a whispering manner.
