Topic: Qadâ' Or Catching Up With Prayers

[HafiZun]

bismi-llâhi raHmâni raHîm, wa lHamdu-lilllâhi rabbi l^alâmîn, wa Salla lâhu ^ala sayyidina muHammad wassallam. 'ûsikum wa nafsi bitaqwa-llâh, asa alu-llâha an~yarzuqna Husnan niyyah.

i start in the name of Allâh subHanahu wata^âlâ, the Lord of the worlds, to whom belong the blessings and endownments. i humbly ask Allâh to raise the rank of our beloved MuHammad (Salla lâhu ^alayhi wassallam), his brothers in prophethood, his honourable 'âl, his noblest companions, and i ask Allâh to protect the nation of Prophet muHammad from that which he feared for it, 'âmîn. i remind myself and u to fear Allâh and i ask Allâh to grant us a good intention, i.e. a pure one. 'âmîn

i wanted to post some stuff on qaDâ prayers as i think it is very important. i have always stressed the importance of it. i hope u agree.

The one who misses his prayers, if either he forgets or intentionally misses it, then he must make it up! It is an ijmâ^ (unanimity) to do the qadâ' salâh after time has gone. Anyone who disagrees with this then this is not acceptable and sometimes can be blasphemy/kufr to say so, due to going against ijmâ^. (Ibn Hazm disagreed as he said that one does not make up the salâh which was unintentionally missed.) AnNawawiyy reported in alMajmû^ that there is unanimity that one must catch up with missed prayers.
Imâm ashShâfi^iyy said that one can pray qadâ' any time.

Barak Allah feeki sis May Allah grant you paradise for your good doings

'âmîn wa'iyyaki

Imâm Abû Hanîfah said not to pray the qadâ' prayer in the 3 prohibited times of salâh. (sun rising i.e. from the moment the sun starts to appear till it has completely appeared, the same applies to the setting of the sun and the istiwâ').

One needs to catch up previous prayers first even though you are in the time of the next salâh. If one misses a prayer unintentionally, it is better to read it as early as possible but it is not necessary to do so. If one prays the salâh of that specific time before catching up the qadâ' of the previous salâh, then it is invalid, except if he forgets. Also, if there is not enough time to pray the current salâh after the qadâ', then one should pray the salâh which relates to that time, except also if he needs to catch up with more than 6 prayers (including witr) The Prophet salla-llâhu ^alayhi wasallam  said
“lâ kaffârata lahâ 'illâ dhâlik”,
which means ‘there is no kaffârah/expiation for leaving out a prayer except making it up’, i.e. to catch it up.

SoubHan Allah some ignorant people think that one does not need to make up for their missed prayers, they claim one does not need to make up for their missed fard prayers and the argument they use is that we are going against the Quran by saying Allah is not All Merciful and so repentence is enough and you do not have to make your fardh qada prayers.
SoubHan Allah!!


When you think of it you can see what a nonsense it is:

-Repentance includes repairing what can be repaired which our sins caused,
paying off debts which one has neglected. So saying repenting is enough, you
don't need to catch is silly since there is no repentance without giving what is
owed.
-Would he accept the repentance of a person who would owe him money and would
come to him and say: "I won't pay you your money back. In the past I refused to
pay you back because I was a sinner, now I don't need to pay you back because I
have repented".
There is an 'ijmâ^ on this issue and only people outside Sunni orthodoxy
go against ijmâ^, or the very ignorant.

Sis, I need your help to elaborate more...

Here:

, it is better to read it as early as possible but it is not necessary to do so.

and here:

 If one prays the salâh of that specific time before catching up the qadâ' of the previous salâh, then it is invalid, except if he forgets.

[HafiZun]

1) it is better to read it as early as possible but it is not necessary to do so.

this means that, for example, if u miss ur fajr prayer, unintentionally, then it is permissible to catch up with it when u do ur Zuhr Salâh, but it is better for u to do it before that, as soon as u can.

does that make sense?

2) If one prays the salâh of that specific time before catching up the qadâ' of the previous salâh, then it is invalid, except if he forgets.

this means for example, if u miss ur fajr and u need to catch up with that before u do ur Zuhr Salâh, if u do the Zuhr Salâh before u catch up with the fajr u missed, then the Zuhr u do is invalid.  however, if u forget that u had to catch up with fajr and u pray ur Zuhr Salâh, then it is ok.

brother, this is according to the Hanafi madhhab, i am not sure if it differes in any other madhhabs.

i shal post the next bit after this part is understood, 'in shâ'a-llâh  :-)


 

[HafiZun]

the last bit on qaDâ'...

If the prayers left out/missed are more than 5 salâhs in a row, then one does not need to observe the order of making up.
If someone misses the prayer whilst asleep, then they are not sinful  . Also one does not pray sunnah until he catches all his past prayers up. there is an 'ayah which shows that prayers caught up with are rewarded.
Some Mâlikis say that if a person catches up two days of prayers a day with the intention of completing  the number he owes, that is enough. 

i hope this has helped. may Allâh grant us the ability to obey Him, 'âmîn, not to miss our prayers so we come to this stage of catrching up, and if we do have to catch up with them, may Allâh grant us the srength to do them and complete the number we owe, 'âmîn, and may Allâh reward us for our actions. 'âmîn, 'âmîn

keep this weak slave of His in ur du^âs please.
