Question
I prayed Isha already then went to bed. I woke up later in the night prayed Isha again thinking I didn’t pray. It was when I finished praying that I remembered that I had already prayed before going to bed.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Answer:
If a person offered his Fardh Salaah and then prayed it again, it will be considered a Nafl prayer. [1]
