If a person cannot perform the first sunnah of the noon prayer before the fard prayer, which one should he perform after the fard first; the first sunnah or the last sunnah? What should be the order like?
Dear Brother / Sister,
Some sunnah prayers that cannot be performed in time can be performed after the fard prayer in its own time. For instance, if a person does not perform the first sunnah of the noon prayer in order to perform the fard prayer in congregation, he performs the last sunnah after the fard prayer and the two-rak'ah sunnah after it.
If the first sunnah of the Friday prayer cannot be performed before the sermon (khutbah), it is performed as qada after the fard of the Friday prayer. The sunnah prayers of the noon and Friday prayers that are performed as two rak'ahs and left in the middle are performed as four rak'ahs as qada after the fard prayer like that.
The sunnah prayers of the other daily prayers except these sunnahs are not performed as qada (missed) prayers when they are not performed in time. For instance, the sunnah prayers of the afternoon (asr) and night (isha) prayers are not performed if they are not performed before the fard prayers.
Questions on Islam
- Is it necessary to perform the first sunnah of the Friday prayer as qada after the sermon and fard of the Friday prayer when we miss it?

- Can the sunnah prayers that are abandoned due to some obligations be performed as qada (missed) prayers afterwards?
- What is the decree on not being able to perform the first sunnah prayers of the afternoon (asr) and night (isha) prayers? Are the sunnahs of these prayers performed after the fard is performed in congregation?

- Is it permissible to shorten the first sunnahs of four rak’ahs as two rak’ahs in order to catch up with the congregation?
