praying too early

[Ummu Sufyaan]

if you suspect that you have prayed too early, do you have to repeat your prayers again? what about if you dont realize this until after the time for that prayer is over? so one day you pray ishaa too early but you dont realize this until the next day...i.e well after the time for ishaa has passed?

also you're not entirely sure...its not clear to you if you have prayed early or not...its about 50/50 you're not really leaning to any direction.

 

[Nuha38318]

Salam alaikum,

Hm, is this Waswaas or do you have real reason for doubt?

The fatwas I have read so far all state that in this case one should make up the prayer, to make sure, that no prayer is missing, because if you really prayed too early then it is not valid....

 

[Nuha38318]

I forgot:

I am also not sure how long one can make up a prayer, if it is possible to do that on the next day or even later ..

But the first thing that is looked at on the Day of Judgment, are your prayers, so when some Fard prayers are missing or are not done in the manner they should have been done, then your Sunnah prayers are taken to make up for it.

So, if you think of the time of your prayer and assume it most probably is Waswaas and don't make up the prayer, but on the Day of Judgment it is said those 4 Rak'as are missing, then in sha Allah you will have prayed enough Sunnah prayers to make up for them ...

asalamu alaykum

a condition of salah is that the time must have entered hence if it was close and it is waswas that is telling you that you didnt wait lonng enough u can ignore it but if you are more certain then as soon as you remember you pray it no matter how long has passed if it was done unintentionally

and Allah knows best
