Is it obligatory to make up missed prayers in order, or is it permissible to make them up in any order, and is it true that it is obligatory to make up more than five missed prayers before performing the Maghrib prayer if its time has begun?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
"The order of missed prayers is obligatory, based on what was reported from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, regarding the Battle of Al-Ahzab and Al-Khandaq, where he ordered the prayers that he missed. This is also what was narrated from Ibn Umar, Al-Nakha'i, Al-Zuhri, Rabi'ah, Yahya Al-Ansari, Malik, Al-Layth, Abu Hanifa, and Ishaq."
