Published as Calculating missed salaah and making qadha

Question

After I became baligh, I would offer my prayers but mostly I would miss them. I've missed my prayers and I don't know how many prayers I've missed. It's uncountable. How can I offer my missed namaz? How will I know that my missed prayers are done? Is it possible if I offer salat-ul-toba and never miss my prayers?

Answer

You should employ your discretion to the best of your ability and calculate the total amount of salaah missed. Whatever you feel to most likely be the final amount make a note of it and start performing the missed salaah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) 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.”
