What should a girl do who is continuously doing housework and cooking and taking care of her parents, if she has neglected to rub between her fingers and toes (takhleel) during ablution for years and does not remember their number? And should she respond to her brother's request to make sweets that take time, fearing that she might miss her prayers? And should she inform her parents and siblings about her make-up prayers? And should she listen to her relatives who talk to her for entertainment or to complain, even though that might affect the time for her make-up prayers or her rest?

Interlacing the fingers of the hands and feet is a , not an obligation, in Wudu, and you are not required to make up past prayers. Regarding making up the prayers you mentioned, you may adopt the view of the Malikis, which allows making up two days' worth of prayers each day if the increase would distract you from your household duties. This would suffice to discharge your obligation. Nevertheless, we caution you against obsessive thoughts and yielding to them, for you may not be required to make up any prayers at all.
