Obligations, including prayer, imply a form of hardship
I leave for work early at 4:30 am and this obliges me to sleep early. However, during these days, the time of ‘Ishaa’ is very close to that of Fajr. Therefore, it is difficult for me to wait for the ‘Ishaa’ prayer at 11:00 pm or 11:30 pm and then wake up to pray Fajr at 4:00 am. Is there any excuse for me to delay the ‘Ishaa’ prayer until.. More

One who abandons prayer turns away from the Remembrance of Allaah The Almighty

Observing the proper sequence when making up for missed prayers is not a condition for their validity
My son performed the Maghrib prayer in congregation with me and then told me that he had not performed the ‘Asr prayer. It is well known that observing the proper sequence is important when making up for a missed prayer.
