*Part 23:*

*MAKING UP FOR MISSED SALAAT* 

All missed (Fard) Salaat must be made up for. It is not permissible to be negligent in this matter. Whoever makes Salaat for five consecutive days is not negligent.

Salaat must be repaid in the same manner it was missed: if it was missed while resident it should be repaid as such and if it was on a journey it should be repaid as such and it makes no difference whether at the time of repayment one is resident or on a journey. 

Maintaining the right order between two concurrent Salaats as well as between a few missed ones and a current one is obligatory if one so remembers. By a few it is meant four Salaats or less. Whoever has missed four Salaats or less should make up for them before the current one even if that would make him miss the time of the current one also. 

Making up for Salaat is permissible at all times. He who has (Fard) Salaat(s) to make up for does not do Naafilah nor does he do Dhuhaa, (the forenoon Salaat) or Ramadhaan night Salaats (Taraawih). No other Salaats would be permissible for him except Asshaf’o and Al-Witr, the Sunnah of Fajr, the two Eid Salaats, the eclipse Salaat and the special Salaat for rain during severe droughts. 

It is permissible for those are making up for missed Salaat(s) to observe them together if their missed Salaats are the same and whoever forgets the number of Salaats they have missed should make up for a number that would be enough to remove any doubts.
