Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I have many missed prayers, and now I am praying each prayer together with the other; I pray the midday prayer, then I pray a missed midday prayer, and so on. Is this permissible, or is it necessary to perform them sequentially?
Answer:
It is necessary to perform them sequentially as much as possible. There is no need for order; sequential performance and order are required. One must not delay some of them until the time of the prayer that resembles them. This is for the common people.Sunan ad-Darimi 2:45 So, do not delay them. He says: When the midday prayer time comes, pray it with the midday prayer. When the afternoon prayer time comes, no, yes.
