Someone asked me how to perform Salat Qaza Umri ??.. i told him to perfom awabeen, as i have no idea on the other one anyone can show me the way to this salat pls thanks

Answer

Qaza Umri means to replace all the salaat missed in the past. It is a debt on the one who missed it. Therefore it should be replaced in order to discharge the obligation of salaat. How to replace it ? Firstly, one should get an estimate amount of salaat missed, then whilst performing it, one should specify the exact date and year of that salaat he is replacing. For example " I am replacing the salaat of 01-jan-2013 etc. If they are too much and he is unable to remember, then it would be suffice if every time he just mention " I am replacing the first fajr salaat i missed " or he may also say " I am replacing the last fajr salaat i missed". In this way he may replace all his missed salaat.
