The following are a few important masaa-il (rulings)
that pertain to people who have many qadhaa salaah to perform.
1. If a
person is unable to determine the exact number of salaah that he has missed, he
should estimate a number that he is confident will cover the salaah that he has
missed.
2. When
performing qadhaa salaah, it is necessary for one to specify which qadhaa he is
performing. If it is difficult for one to determine the date of the
specific salaah (e.g. The Zuhr missed yesterday or the day before) then one may
make the following intention, “I am performing qadhaa of the last Zuhr Salaah I
missed,” or “I am performing qadhaa of the first Zuhr Salaah from all the Zuhr
Salaahs that I have missed.”
However, if a person merely makes the intention,
“I am performing qadhaa of Zuhr Salaah” without any further specification of
which qadhaa of Zuhr he is performing, the
intention will be insufficient and the qadhaa will not be
fulfilled. Rather, the salaah will be performed as nafl.
3. To make
qadhaa for a Zuhr, ‘Asr or ‘Esha salaah that was missed while on safar (shar‘ee
travelling), one will perform two rakaats (even if one is not on safar when
performing the qadhaa). Similarly, to make qadhaa of a Zuhr, ‘Asr or ‘Esha
salaah that was missed when not on safar, one will perform four rakaats (even
if one is performing the qadhaa while on safar).
4. There is no qadhaa for the sunnah and nafl
salaahs. However, it is necessary to
make qadhaa for the Witr salaah. Hence, for each day, a person
will have to perform six qadhaa salaah (Fajr, Zuhr, ‘Asr, Maghrib, ‘Esha and
Witr). However, if a person missed the Fajr Salaah and is performing the qadhaa
on the same day, then he should perform the sunnah as well as the fardh if it
is before zawwaal. If zawwaal has already passed, he will not perform the sunnah.
Rather, he will only perform the fardh.
Below is a
qadhaa salaah chart that will assist one in completing one’s qadhaa salaahs.
