Is it obligatory to say the Subhan Allah (Tasbih) after each missed prayer individually, or is it permissible to say it after making up all consecutive prayers?
Encouragement for dhikr (remembrance of God) and tasbeeh (glorification of God) after prayer applies equally to both qada' (missed/makeup) and ada' (performed on time) prayers, as indicated by the word "every" in the hadiths. However, if one has many missed prayers, they must prioritize making them up, without performing the customary tasbeehs or supererogatory prayers, until all of them are made up. Once they are made up, there is no impediment to performing the Sunnah prayers and tasbeehs after the last makeup prayer. Ibn Qudamah clarified that one who has many missed prayers should only make up the obligatory prayers and not perform supererogatory or Sunnah prayers, unless the missed prayers are few, in which case it is permissible to make up their regular Sunnah prayers.
