Aslam-o-Aliakum Missed Fard salat Neeyat? I have recently realised the truth about Life. I am trying to complete my missed fard salats. I am 26 yrs old please tell me from which age I should count my missed salats i.e. 14yrs or 12 yrs? Also What is the neyat of missed salat, as I offer one missed one with each regular one. Also for Isha one, do I need to offer missed Witr as well Jazak-Allah khair
Firstly, we wish to embrace this opportunity to congratulate you on
realizing the truth of life. May Allah Ta’ala grant you steadfastness and
accept you for the service of his Deen.
In principle, Salaat becomes obligatory once a person becomes Baaligh
(physically matured). However, if an individual does not become physically
matured at the age of 15, the Shari’ah considers such a person as Baaligh
(physically matured).
1. If any obligatory Salaat is missed, Qadhah (to cover up) is necessary
2. If a lot of Qadhah Salaat have accumulated, the intention for Qadhaa will
be, ‘O Allah! I am performing my Qadhaa for Fajr …’ (For all Salaats,
similar intention will be made)
3. If one misses the Witr Salaat, Qadhaa is necessary (Tahtaawi pg.239;
Qadeemi)
and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
