Making Salah Qaza

According to the Qur’an-e-Kareem and the Hadith of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam), every Salah has a time interval and it must be performed within it. If a Salah is performed before its time, it is not counted. And if it is performed after its time, it becomes Qaza. According to the commandments of the Qur’an-e-Kareem and the teaching of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam), just as it is Farz and obligatory to perform 5 times Farz Salah, likewise, it is obligatory to perform them at their fixed times. When a person delays a Salah until its time has expired, this Salah becomes Qaza. Thus, delaying Salah to the point that it becomes Qaza is a great sin.
