making up for missed salaats of 7 yrs

· 26 Jumada I 1426 AH1 min readFatwa 13161English

Question

I have many, many Salah to make up from the past 7 years of my life. While I am making these Salah up, will I still get reward for my Nafl Salah? I heard a scholar say that if you have lots of Salah to make up there is no point in making Nafl Salah. May Allah reard you immensely.Wasalam

Answer

In principle, it is more important to make up for the missed Salaats. While making intention for the missed Salaat, you could make intention of the desired Nafl of that time, e.g. Shurooq, Dhuhaa, etc. You will be rewarded for the Nafl as well.

and Allah Ta'ala 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.”
