The Hadiths Related to the Virtues and Making Up for Regular Sunnah Prayers (A Hadith and Jurisprudential Study)

Abstract

This study addresses a collection of prophetic hadiths concerning the virtues of regular sunnah prayers and the rulings on making them up (a hadith and jurisprudential study). The article aims to highlight the virtues of regular sunnah prayers and the rulings on making up for those missed, based on the prophetic hadiths found in relevant sources of the Sunnah. The inductive approach was employed to gather the hadiths related to the topic, followed by an analytical method to study and analyze the virtues and jurisprudential rulings contained within them. The study is organized into an introduction, a preamble to define the research terminology, and two main sections. Section One focuses on the hadiths regarding the virtues of regular sunnah prayers, while the second section studies the hadiths pertaining to making up the missed regular sunnah prayers, such as the Fajr sunnah, the before and after Dhuhr sunnah, and the Witr sunnah. The hadiths are sourced from the books of Sunnah, with an indication of their authenticity and classification, as well as the jurisprudential rulings derived by scholars from these hadiths. The findings revealed there that there are numerous prophetic hadiths affirming the virtue of regular sunnah prayers as compensatory for deficiencies in obligatory prayers. The study concludes with some recommendation to make up for missed regular sunnah prayers, especially the Fajr sunnah..
