How does one make up several missed prayers?

Question : The questioner says: Shaykh, if a woman misses several prayers, how does she make up these missed prayers?

Answer : They are made up in order. That is, she prays, for example, the midday prayer, then the afternoon prayer, then the sunset prayer, then the night prayer, then the dawn prayer, then the midday prayer, then the afternoon prayer, then the sunset prayer, and so on. She prays them all at one time to the best of her ability. As for the belief of some common people that one should pray each missed prayer with its corresponding current prayer, that is a mistake and not correct. For example, some people say that if one has ten days of missed prayers, he should pray the midday prayer with the midday prayer for ten days, the afternoon prayer with the afternoon prayer for ten days, the sunset prayer with the sunset prayer for ten days, the night prayer with the night prayer for ten days, and the dawn prayer with the dawn prayer for ten days. This is a mistake. Rather, he prays the fifty prayers for the ten days all together. However, if he becomes tired, he may take a break and rest, then resume making up the prayers. May Allah reward you and bless you.
