Missed Rakaats In Salaah
Question
Please explain the method of completing missed Rakaats in Salaah with Jama’ah; be it 1, 2 , 3, or 4 Rakaats?
Answer
If a person misses one Rakaat, he will recite Surah Fatiha and another Surah.
If a person misses two Rakaats, he will recite Surah Fatiha and another Surah in both Rakaats.
If a person misses three Rakaats, he will recite Surah Fatiha and another Surah in the first Rakaat, then sit for Tashahhud. After that, he will stand to complete the second missed Rakaat in which he will recite Surah Fatiha and another Surah. Then, for the third missed Rakaat, he will recite Surah Fatiha only.
If a person misses four Rakaats, he will recite Surah Fatiha and another Surah in the first two Rakaats, then sit for Tashahhud. After that, he will stand to complete the remaining two Rakaats in which he will recite Surah Fatiha only.
