Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

Is it obligatory to pray the sunnah prayers along with the fard of missed prayers or praying of the fard qada prayers is enough?

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah,

In the Hanafi school,

a) We do not leave current sunna prayers because of having makeup prayers, because past mistakes should not be 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.
