Making up for the deficiency in prayers after reaching puberty by increasing voluntary prayers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. She says: I started praying when I was fifteen years old, but I was not consistent in my prayer. When I reached the age of twenty, I was not satisfied with my prayer, so I committed to wearing the hijab and improved my prayer. I am now thirty years old. Some people told me that I must make up the prayers I missed and repeat the prayers I had previously performed. I am now praying the Dhuha prayer, four rak'ahs before the midday prayer, two after the midday prayer, four before the afternoon prayer, two after the sunset prayer, and five after the night prayer. Do these voluntary prayers suffice without me making up or repeating what I missed? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
As long as you have prayed in the past, praise be to Allah, that is sufficient, even if there was some deficiency in it. You must maintain the prayer in the future and be diligent in the prescribed voluntary prayers, such as standing in night prayer, the Dhuha prayer, the witr, and the rawatib attached to the obligatory prayers. In this is much good, if Allah wills. As for making up missed prayers, you do not have to make up anything, praise be to Allah. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
