Could Not Pray Shacharit

Missed prayer

Question

What is the law regarding a person who did not pray the morning prayer (Shacharit) due to circumstances not under his control? Does he need to pray the afternoon prayer (Mincha) twice?

Answer

Shalom!
He needs to pray Mincha twice.
First, he prays Mincha, and then he prays the Amidah again as a compensation for the missed Shacharit prayer.
