The answer

"Whoever misses a prayer due to a legitimate excuse, such as sleep or forgetfulness, is not sinful and is excused. It becomes obligatory for him to pray it upon waking up or remembering it, due to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: 'Whoever forgets a prayer, let him pray it when he remembers it.' It is preferable for him to pray it in congregation if he is able to, because congregational prayer is better than individual prayer, both in performance and in making up for missed prayers."
