Missed prayers: making up witr and the sunnah of Fajr & calculating years

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

If one has years of missed prayers to make up does one make up the witr and sunnah of Fajr up? (are there other sunnah prayers one should make up) Also, how does one calculate missed prayers if one has been praying some prayers in that time. For example, from when I was accountable for prayers until I started praying consistently, I know I was always praying some prayers but not every prayer.

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

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah,

You should make a conservative but reasonable estimate of how many obligatory and wajib (i.e. witr) prayers you need to make up. You don’t need to make up missed sunna prayers.
