what is the kaffara or what can i do now about those salat that i didnt offer willingly/due to lack of knowledge about salat? what about the salat that i offered as qaza due to school life /college life/office etc?
Answer
(Fatwa: 381/281/L=1432)
It is obligatory on you to offer all those salah that you have missed unknowingly. First, you should calculate all the missed salah. For example, you have missed two or three years’ salah, make the qaza of three years and include witr in qaza salah as well with the five daily salah. The easy method of qaza salah is to make the qaza of one or two salah with each salah time and note down it in any notebook to remember it. You should make this intention at the time of doing qaza that you are offering the first or last salah of Fajr or Zuhar of all your missed salah.
