Question
Hello, Honorable Rabbi, The Rabbi answered me about prayer after midnight and said that if it is intentional, one cannot make up the Shemoneh Esrei. My question is, if I usually wake up on time and pray Shacharit, but occasionally I unintentionally wake up after midnight, is this considered intentional or accidental? Thank you in advance!
Answer
Hello,
As long as it was not intentional, it is permissible to make up.
