Calculating one's missed salaahs

· 19 Muharram 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

In calculating all one's missed salaahs in life, does one start from the age of 12 or 15 if one cannot recall when one had become baaligh?

Answer

Employ your discretion and if you cannot make it at all in spite of you exhausting yourself then count yourself as baaligh from the age of fifteen.

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.”
