MISSED NAMAAZ IN LIFETIME (QAZA e UMRI)
There are a lot of people who have missed Namaaz for many years without any valid excuses. As a result, they have become very sinful. In a hadith, it is mentioned that if a person missed his farz Namaaz, and has debts of qaza, then his performing of nafil Namaaz is in vain. Unless the qaza is performed, Allah Ta'ala will not accept his nafil Namaaz.
There is no set or fixed time for qaza Namaaz. Whenever in ones life he performs it, he will be absolved of the responsibility of discharging it. However, qaza Namaaz cannot be performed at forbidden times for Namaaz.
To avoid dying with debts of qaza Namaaz, and to get away from the torment in the Hell, those who have missed Namaaz without an excuse for years and years should, at least, rearrange their five times daily Namaaz and intend to perform qaza instead of performing Nafil and sunnat e ghair muakkadah Namaaz.
' Fajr:' -
' Zohr: In place of nafil, perform qaza by making an intention to perform qaza of the farz of the earliest missed four rakaat of Zohr Namaaz.
' Asr: In place of sunnat e ghair muakkadah, perform qaza by making an intention to perform the qaza of the farz of the earliest missed four rakaat of Asr Namaaz.
' Magrib: In place of nafil, perform qaza by making an intention to perform qaza of the farz of the earliest missed three rakaat of the Magrib Namaaz.
' Isha: In place of four-rakaat sunnat e ghair muakkadah, perform qaza by making an intention to perform qaza of the farz of the earliest missed four rakaat of the Isha Namaaz.
In place of two-rakkat nafil (i.e. after two-rakaat sunnat e muakkadah), perform qaza by making an intention to perform qaza of the Witr of the earliest missed three-rakaat of Witr Namaaz.
In place of nafil (after Witr), perform qaza by making an intention to perform qaza of the farz of the earliest missed two-rakaat of Fajr Namaaz.
Hence, each day you will pay the debt of a day's qaza.
Avoid exposing your qaza Namaaz because publicising a sin is also a sin.
(Raddul Muhtar)
Performing qaza e umri Namaaz quickly:
' In ruku and sajda, instead of reciting Subhaana Rab-biyal 'Azeem and Subhaan Rab-biyal A'laa three times, recite it only once. But do not get up from the ruku or sajda in a rush. Make sure these tasbihaat are properly said.
' In the third and fourth rakaat of farz Namaaz instead of reciting the whole Surah Fateha, recite Subhan Allah three times and go into ruku. Again do not rush. Subhan Allah must be said properly. However, this exception is for farz only. In the third rakaat of Witr, Surah Fateha and a surah must be recited in full.
' In Qa'dah e Akheerah before salaam, after tashahhud (attahiyyaat) instead of reciting the full durood, just recite Al-Laahum-ma Sal-li 'Alaa Saiey-yidnaa Muhammadin-Wa 'Alaih, and then end the Namaaz with salaam.
' In Witr, instead of full Dua e Qunoot, just recite Rabbigh Fir-Lee one or three times.(Fatawa Razviya)
