Question

My question is about making Qaadah salaat. What must one do if he is unsure of which, and how many, salaat he has missed? My situation is such that due to school, work, etc I have missed various Salaat in the past 10 years, but obviously do not remember which ones. What should I do? Jazakallah Khaire.

Answer

If a person does not remember the date, month or year of the missed Salaats, he should apply his honest discretion and follow that.

If the person is satisfied that he has fulfilled all his Qadhaa Salaats, then he may discontinue making Qadhaa Salaats.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

How do I make up missed salaah (qadha)?

“Performing Qadha salaah in one's home or in the musjid is permissible. However, after the time of fajr enters and after performing your asr salaah, if you wish to perform Qadha salaah, then perform it in your home.”
