Is offering qaza salah somewhat better than not offering salah at all?
Answer
(Fatwa: 508/486/N=1434)
The qaza of missed salah is wajib and necessary. One shall be sinful if one does not do qaza or make a will before one’s death. All the four Imams and majority of Ulama have the same opinion in this issue. For details see Fatawa Usmani (1: 522-532)
