Performing qadha salaah without specifying which salaah

· 11 Rajab 1442 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I had a few qaza salaah that I needed to pray and I prayed them without specifying if it was Asr/Zuhr/Esha, since I had just written it down as 4 rakaat qaza.

Now I'm feeling extremely anxious because of waswasa that all my prayers were not valid. If they were not valid how can I repeat them if I don't know which time's prayer they were?

Answer

They were not valid. The salaah has to be specified.

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.”
