Performing Qadha Salaah Instead Of The Sunnah Salaah

· 28 Safar 1445 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Wanted to know. I have a about 30 years of qaza salaah. Wanted to know is possible that instead of reading the sunnah before and after the fardh salaah, to read qaza salaah. Or do I have to read the sunnah salaah?

Answer

There are two categories of Sunnah Salaah. The first is referred to as Sunnat-e-Muakkada whilst the second category is referred to as Sunnat-e-Ghair Muakkada.

The first type (Sunnat-e-Muakkada) are the 2 Sunnats before Fajr, 4 before Zuhr, 2 after Zuhr, 2 after Maghrib and the 2 after Esha. These are 12 Rakaats in total for the day and should not be omitted.

The remaining optional Salaah will either be categorized as Sunnat-e-Ghair Muakkadah or Nafl.

These may be omitted and Qadhaa Salaah perfomed in place of them.
