Making Up Missed Sunnah Prayers?

Answered by SunniPath Answer Service Team

When making up years of neglected prayers do you have to also make up your 2 sunna before fajr the 4 before zuhr and 2 after and maghrib and isha and your witr?

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Wa Alaykum Assalam wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuhu,

In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful & Compassionate

From a past post by Faraz Rabbani:

In the Hanafi school,

a) We do not leave current sunna prayers because of having makeup prayers, because past mistakes should not be the cause for present shortcomings;

b) Only past obligatory and necessary prayers are to be made up;

c) One does not makeup past sunna prayers;

d) However, within the prayers one is making up, one should not leave the sunnas themselves.

Wassalam,
