FAQ on Qadha (missed) Salah (Prayers) Qaza-e-Umri (7/11)

· 14 Muharram 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

What is the position of the Hanafi Madhab?

Answer

You should make an earnest effort to estimate the amount of Salahs to make up. To do this, you can commence calculating from the time you became Baligh (mature); however, you should also estimate how many Salahs you might have performed already in order to subtract that number from the total number of Salahs since the age of your Bulūgh (maturity). You should stop performing the Qadha Salahs when you are relatively certain that you have completed them all.

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.”
