THE QADHA SALAAHAny salaah performed in it's time is called adaa.Fardh and Wajib salaah performed after it's time has expired will be called qadha. e.g. If Asr salaah is performed at Maghrib time, it will be qadha.To delay any Fardh, Wajib or Sunnatul Mu-akkadah salaah intentionally and cause them to become qadha is very sinful.It is compulsory upon every Muslim to perform the missed number of Fardh and Wajib salaah since the time one has become baligh. (reached the age of puberty).If a person has missed less than six salaah and no other salaah besides these are qadha, then before beginning the performance of the sixth salaah in it's time, qadha of the missed number of salaah will have to be performed in order. E.g. If a person has missed the Fajr, Zuhr and Asr salaah and no other salaah besides these are qadha and the time of Maghrib has begun, in this case first the Fajr, Zuhr and Asr must be performed in order and thereafter the Maghrib salaah should be performed.For a person who has missed more than five salaah, it is not necessary upon him to perform the qadha salaah in order.He may perform the adaa salaah first and then the qadha salaah.The niyyah of qadha salaahWhen making the niyyah for qadha, it is necessary to make niyyah for the particular salaah missed.If one has missed a number of salaah, then one should make niyyah thus: "I am performing such and such day's Fajr or Zuhr".If a person has missed more than one Fajr or Zuhr, it will not be sufficient to say: "I am performing qadha for Fajr or Zuhr". One should say: "I am performing such and such day's Fajr"."Oh Allah! I am performing the first Fajr or the first Zuhr, Fardh from those which I have missed".Continue doing this until satisfied that all the missed number of salaah are performed.
SALAAH
1. In shari'at a person who travels 48 miles, or more and intends to remain at one's destination for less than 15 days, is called a musafir. 2. A musafir who intends remaining at his destination for 15 days or more, will only be a musafir during his journey. Once he reaches his destination, he will not be a musafir. 3. A musafir should make qasr of the Zuhr, Asr and Isha (Fardh only), i.e. One must perform two Fardh only instead of four rak'at. 4. There is no qasr in the Fardh of Fajr and Maghrib. Similarly, there is no qasr of Witr, Sunnah or Nafl salaah. 5. A musafir who performs his salaah behind a muqim Imam, (who is not a musafir) should perform the full four rak'at in the Zuhr, Asr and Isha fardh. 6. If the Imam is a musafir and muqtadi a muqim, the musafir Imam should complete his salaah after two rak'at and thereafter he must ask the muqim muqtadi to complete his salaah by saying: "complete your salaah, I am a musafir." The muqim muqtadi should then stand up and complete the remaining two rak'at without reciting surah fatihah or any other surahs (they should remain silent in qiyam )
The muqtadis should stand close to each other and in a straight row. No space should be left in between. Children should stand in the back row. It is makruh to include children in the men's row. If the Imam's salaah become Fasid (void) then the muqtadis salaah will also become fasid. It will be necessary for the muqtadis to repeat the salaah.
