Intention when making qadha salaah

· 13 Safar 1441 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Regarding qadha salaah (missed prayers):

What is the full intention to make before one performs a qadha salaah (Note: the intention for ample salaah missed not just a single salaah). I am fearful that if my intention is incorrect my qadha salaah wont be accepted. Many books have the intention for only missing one prayer.

To my knowledge the intention is "O Allah, I am reading the 1st fajr of those that I have missed" but I am unsure if it is correct.

Answer

The intention stated is correct.

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.”
