Making up numerous missed prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A person has missed many prayers. Does he pray the ones he missed immediately after the current prayer, so he prays Fajr with Fajr, and Zuhr with Zuhr, and so on?
Answer:
No, he should hasten to make them up in order. He should do so in one sitting if he is able, and if he is not able, he should distribute them among several sittings according to his ability. He does not combine them with the current prayers. After each prayer, he does not pray the missed one. No, he prays them consecutively in one sitting according to his ability. Yes.
