Details of Tefilas Tashlumin

Discusses the Halachic principle of “Tashlumin”, allowing one to make up an inadvertently missed davening. For example, if a person involuntarily missed davening Shacharis, he recites an extra Shemone Esrei at Mincha to make up for the missed Tefila.  It also discusses the reason why the concept of Tashlumin exists within the mitzvah of Tefila alone - whereas with any other mitzva, the opportunity to perform the mitzva is forfeited once the designated time has passed. Also discussed is the classification of that extra Tefila - is it considered a redo of the missed Tefila or a brand new Tefila and the resultant Halachic ramifications.
