Sleeping through a Prayer or Forgetting to Pray

Question: What do I accidentally miss a pray through sleep or mere forgetfulness?

Answer:

Wa alaykum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

Dear questioner,

Thank you for your important question.

If one sleeps through prayer or forgets it, one makes up the prayer.

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘Whoever forgets to pray or sleeps through it, its expiation is to pray it when he remembers.’ (Bukhari and Muslim)
