How Do You Make Up Missed Prayers

[slowly707]

When I was younger I can't remember whether or not I missed any prayers and I want to pray some extra salah now just to be safe and make up for any missed salats. My question is how do you go about doing this...do you do it in multiples of 2 rakats or do you have to specifiy a niyyah of "qadha dhur" for example? I just want to know the method of how one would make up salats.

When you make up your prayers, yes you do specifiy the niyyah of qadha namaaz. Also, I recently learned that in qadha namaazes, you don't have to recite the second Surah after you recite Surah al-Fatihah, and you don't have to do Qunoot on the second rakat.

Sis 3alawiyeh, please elaborate.

I've never heard that before but what I do know is that: if you are sure that you've missed a prayer and you want to make it up your intention should be "qadha dhuhr" for instance.

However, if you're unsure, you would say "3ama fil thima", this will make up your salah if you have any missed prayers. Even if you don't have any missed prayers and you think that when you were younger you used to pray incorrectly, you can also pray "3ama fil thima" and it will make up for those prayers. :)

I recommend you to pray them as it were similar to nafilah duhr and asr. Everyday, make up un missed day: Duhr qada, Asr qada, Duhr salat; Magrib wada, Isha wada, Fajr qada, Asr salat. It gets easy to pray them with the time :P.

Although for your own satisfaction, you can pray, it is not obligatory according to Ayatullah Sistani:

2- If a person suspects that he might have qadha on him, or that the prayers offered by him were not valid, it is not obligatory to perform it

You might want to read the link completely. It's an article on 'The Easiest Way to Perform Qadha Prayers'.

I think that when you do niyyah (Nawaytou anou salou ___ rak3a fard el _______ wajeeban lILLAHI ta3ala), you add quada2 after you say rak3a

so itll sound like Nawaytou anou salou ___ rak3a QUADA2 fard el _______ wajeeban lILLAHI ta3ala

thats how i pray them anyways, but try going on your marja3's site too make sure ^_^

Yeah, I just heard 'bout it, too. When my sister visited me from Syria, she told me that her hawza teacher tought her that when they were learning about correcting their salaat. Ensha'Allah, I'll ask her to tell me more about it and I'll post everything on here right away.

Sorry. ):
