How to Make up Missed Prayers
Question :
I pray regularly, but I am unable to make up for some of the obligatory prayers, although I make them up at every prayer which I pray alone, due to circumstances. What will give me peace of mind?
Answer:
If you missed some of the prayers due to some valid excuse, such as illness or unconsciousness, then you must make up for them as early as possible; whenever you are free and feel strong. Perform a number of prayers, as your energy allows, such as at forenoon time, perform the prayers for two days or more; and after Zuhr likewise and so on. But if the prayers are many in number, and you missed them due to negligence or laziness, then perform lots of non-obligatory prayers and maintain the obligatory prayers. And Allah pardons evil deeds.
