Aslam o alaikum Mufti Sahib. I started praying when i turned 19. I want to pray them as quickly as possible Can i skip all the sunnahs in the prayer and only do the mandatory actions when i am praying my qadah fard salats. For example can i say subhana rabbiyal azeem only once in rukuh and subhana rabbiyal a’la only once in sajdah. And also can i not read durud and dua after Atah-yat and say slam right after i am done saying Atah-yat. Do i have to say sanah in the beginning after takber-e-tahreema. Please let me know which sunnah actions i can skip in my prayers and do only fard actions. jazakallah
To miss out a Fardh Salaat deliberately is a major sin. One should sincerely
repent for not performing the missed Salaats and make up (Qadhaa) for the
missed Salaats.
The Fuqahaa have advised that Qadhaa Salaat should be performed like the
Adaa Salaat, in every possible way. That includes fulfilling the Sunnat acts
of Salaat. However, if one omits the Sunnat acts of Salaat, the obligation
will be discharged. Refer attached
