How the intention is made for the prayers missed (rendered qada) two-three years ago?
Dear Brother / Sister,
There is no need to determine time for prayers which were missed. As this is difficult, it is more appropriate to do the easier one. The following intention is made when a qada prayer is performed:
"I intend to perform the first zuhr (noon) prayer that I could not perform on time..." or "I intend to perform the last zuhr (noon) prayer that I could not perform on time for the sake of Allah..." By this way, the missed prayers are started to be performed either from the first missed one or the last missed one; in both cases, the missed prayers are reduced by performing them in an order.
In order for it to be easier, it is also enough to intend as follows; "I'm performing the qada of a zuhr (noon) or asr (afternoon) prayer which is fard on me."
Questions on Islam
- Is determining the time for prayers when uttering intention (niyyah) essential while praying with jamaah (in congregation) or singly?
- When the time for zuhr (noon) comes, is only the missed fard qada of fajr (morning prayer) performed or is the sunnah of it performed as well?
- If a person cannot wake up for the morning prayer (fajr), if he, say, gets up at 9 o’clock, how can he perform the morning prayer?
- How is intention (niyyah) made for a witr prayer that was missed?
- Are Sunnah prayers and witr prayers that are missed performed later as qada? How should one make niyyah if he performs the morning prayer after the sunrise and before noon?
- Is the following hadith sound: "Whoever abandons performing the four rak'ah sunnah before the fard of zuhr (noon) prayer will not be able to attain my shafa'a (intercession)"?
- Can I intend to perform my missed (qada) prayers while performing tarawih prayer according to Shafii madhhab?
- When and how are the missed (qada) prayers performed? Are the sunnah prayers performed as well?
- When should I perform the Fajr (morning prayer), If I cannot perform it on time?
- What is the decree about missed (qada) prayers? When and how are they performed? How should one say niyyah (intention) for them?
