I missed several salaats when I was a teenager. Now that I am in my 20's, I want to make tahajid even though I have not made up all my missed prayers.
Question
I have not made up all my missed prayers.(Though I am trying.) Is it permissible to make Tahajid in this state?
Answer
It is permissible, in fact, encouraged to perform Tahajjub Salaat.
However, you should also endervour to fulfil your Qadhaa (missed Salaats) from the time of attaining maturity. You are fortunate as you are still in your 20s. You should embrace the opportunity to set your record straight with Allah whilst you are still young.
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.”
