The 2 rakahs sunnah which precede Fajr hold a very high status.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

“The two Rak’ahs (Sunnah) of Fajr are better than this world and all it contains.” (Sahih Muslim)

According to the Hanafi school, the two rakahs sunnah before the 2 fard rakahs of Fajr prayer are a confirmed sunnah, and considered wajib.

If you miss them, should you make them up?

The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to repay even the sunnah salahs which he missed. So if you miss it; you can repay it, but do not do this during the prohibited times.

So if you overslept and just caught or missed the fard rakahs of Fajr, you should wait until the sun has risen and then pray them as qada (missed) salah.
