Clarifying Prayer Completion

Hey everyone, just had a thought about prayer timing - let's say you catch the final two rak'ahs of Isha with the Imam because you missed the start. When you're doing those extra two rak'ahs by yourself later, should you recite another surah after Al-Fatiha or not? Any insights would be helpful!

This comes down to your school of thought. Hanafis generally say you recite the surah. Better to ask a scholar you trust rather than random guys online, no offense to anyone here.

My local imam said no extra surah needed if you're completing a missed prayer by yourself. But opinions differ, so check your madhab.

Asalamu alaikum. Yes, you recite another surah in the first two rak'ahs of your makeup prayer, just as you would if you were praying on time. Hope that helps!

Just Fatiha is enough for qadha, in my understanding. Makes the completion simpler.

Good question, bro. I've always recited just Al-Fatiha in the qadha prayers. That's what I was taught. But following local scholars is best.
