Q: I have missed many namaaz in the past (as per my calculation 17-18 years namaaz). Now for the last one year I am regular in it. My question is regarding my qaza namaaz. I read that I have to perform my qaza farz namaz too. I read a short procedure of performing namaz too, in which I have to recite single time Subhana Rabial Azeem and Subhana Rabial Aalla only once, in Attahiyat short Darood shareef and in 3rd or 4th rakat Subhana Allah 3 times instead of Surah Fatiha, and Rabigfirlli 3 times instead of dua Kanoot. Is it valid? Do I miss my sunnatul Mukada and pray my qaza namaz and complete it as early as possible and then start praying my whole namaz after completing my all qaza namaz?
A:
1. The Salaah will be valid.
2. Refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/3139
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
