Question

I received the following email, is this autnentic or is it false?Thank you.

Namaaz-e-Qazaa-e-Umr

Hazrat Amir-ul-Mo'mineeen (A.S.) said that any person who has

accumulated a lot of qazaa namaaz (missed a lot of salaats) and does

not have the strength to offer them should offer Namaaz-e-Qazaa-e-Umr.

This namaaz is the kaffara to cover 700 years of qazaa namaaz. One

person asked Wali-Ullah "but the people of the ummat of Nabi live

only 70-100 years at the most?" Hazrat Ali (A.S.) replied that the

namaaz-e-kaffara covers your whole life's qazaa namaaz, your

parents, your grand parents, your great grand parents and others

going back up to 700 years qazaa namaaz.

When to pray:

On the last Friday of the month of Ramadhan before sunset.

How to pray:

It's a 4 rakaat namaaz with one salaam. In every rakaat recite

sura-e-fateha (Alhamd) once; followed by Sura-e-Ahad (Qulahwallah)

25 times; followed by Ayatul-kudsi once and followed by Sura-e-Kauthar 15 times.

The Holy Qur'an says: "If someone trusts Allah, he will suffice him.

He will surely bring about what he decrees. Allah has set measure

for everything". (Surah Al-Talaq, 65:3)

Answer

The contents of the email are not authentic. It is fabrication. There is no basis for the Namaaz e Qaza Umr as stated in the email.

And Allah Knows Best
