Salatul Qaza

Salatul Qaza

 

Salatul Qaza, refers to that Salat which is prayed after its time has elapsed.

 

  1. A person must recite the Wajib Salat in its specified time, and in the event that without a valid excuse, the Salat is made Qaza, one has committed a sin, and must repent to Allah and perform the Qaza of that Salat.
  2. In two instances, performing the Qaza of the Salat is Wajib:
  1. The Wajib Salat had not been recited in its proper time.
  2. After the time of the Salat has passed, one realizes that the Salat that had been recited was void.
  1. Someone who has Qaza Salat to perform, must not take these Salat lightly, but it is not Wajib that they be performed immediately.
  2. The Salat which are Qaza from one day must be recited in their order, but if Salatul ‘Asr of one day, and Salatul Zuhr of another day become Qaza, then they do not have to be prayed in order.
  3. One who knows that he has some Qaza Salat, but does not know how many; for example, he does not know if he had four or five Qaza to make up, it will be sufficient to perform the lower number of Salat.
  4. If one knew the amount of Qaza Salat, but forgot the actual number, then it is better that one prays enough Salat to have certainty that all of the Qaza Salat have been made up.
  5. One is allowed to pray the Qaza Salat in Jama’at, whether the Salat of the Imam of the Jama’at is Ada or Qaza, and it is not necessary that one is praying the same Salat as the Imam. For example, if one has Qaza for Salatul Fajr, it is no problem if this is prayed with the Zuhr or ‘Asr of the Imam of Jama’at.
  6. If a traveller who must pray his Salat in Qasr, makes his Zuhr or ‘Asr or ‘Isha Qaza, then he must make the Qaza up by praying two Rak’at, even if he wishes to make them up when he is not travelling.
  7. One is not allowed to fast while travelling, even so much so as a Qaza fast, but one can read one’s Qaza Salat.
  8. If while travelling, one wishes to read the Salat that was made Qaza while not a traveler, then he must perform the Salat of Zuhr, ‘Asr and ‘Isha as four Rak’at.
  9. Salatul Qaza can be read at any time, meaning one can even pray the Qaza of Salatul Fajr in the afternoon or evening.

 

 

 

The Qaza Salat of the Father and Mother

 

  1. As long as a person is alive, no other person can read his Salat for him, even if he himself is unable to offer them.
  2. If, because of a valid excuse, the father did not perform his Salat or fasting, then after the death, it is Wajib on the eldest son to perform the Qaza of those. However, if they did not perform them (the Salat or fasting) simply out of disobedience (of the orders of Allah), then according to Ihtiyat Wajib, the eldest son has to perform the Qaza of them.
