How does a woman make up missed prayers after her guidance: is it after performing the obligatory and Sunnah prayers for the daily prayer, or after the obligatory prayer, then the makeup, then the Sunnah?

The majority of scholars are of the opinion that whoever has neglected prayers must make them up immediately, to the best of their ability, at any time, without distinction. What is required is to hasten to clear one's conscience. If the prayers are numerous, then one must make up at least two days' worth of prayers per day, unless this causes harm or delays one's livelihood, in which case it is permissible to limit oneself to one day's worth of prayers per day. If it is possible to hasten the making up of prayers while maintaining the performance of Sunnah (supererogatory) prayers, that is better; otherwise, one may reduce the number of Sunnah prayers.
