How to Make Up Missed Prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, may Allah bless you, says: I sleep and I am lazy about the prayer a lot, and Shaytan overcomes me, but I strive to control myself. My question now is: Do I make up these prayers in order, or do I make them up with the upcoming prayers—Maghrib with Maghrib, 'Isha' with 'Isha', and Fajr with Fajr?
Answer:
No, it is obligatory for you to make them up immediately and arrange them: the first day in the order of its prayers according to the Shari'ah order, then the second day, then the third day, until you are done with them. Do not delay them and say, “I will pray each prayer with its counterpart.” This is the talk of the common people, and it has no basis in the religion or the Shari'ah. Yes.
