Qadhaa Salaat Calculator

[Jam]

Asalaam alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu,

Had a few spare hours today so I thought I'd code up a useful Java program! Attached, Insha'Allah is a Qadhaa Salaat Calculator and counter designed to keep track of those missed Salaats.

Although Allah Ta'ala is of course All-Merciful, I have read in several places that we must all account for our missed Salaats. So Insha'Allah I plan to catch up on my lifetime of missed Salaats!

Download, unzip the attached zip file and click on "Run" in the QSC folder!

Enjoy and please send on to anyone else who can make use of it! (you need a recent version of Java installed on your computer for it to work - see below - send me a PM if it doesn't!!)

If you have any other ideas for applications (e.g. Islamic symmetrical art etc), let me know and if I have time Insha'Allah I will have a go!

i have a serious question

http://islam.tc/ask-imam/view.php?q=3091
It is not permissible to give Fidyah (monetary compensation) for the missed Salaats if one is able to fulfil the Qadhaa Salaats. The Fidya for each missed Salaat is the same as Sadaqatul Fitr (approx. R7.00). The approximate amount for the missed Salaats for one year will be (approx. R15,000). A bequest should be made during one’s lifetime to pay the Fidya for the unfulfilled Qadhaa Salaats from one third of one’s estate after fulfillment of debts.

so if someone didn't pray for 50 years or something and so he need to pray the missed Salats but the number of missed Salats is very big and he will need 20 years at least to pray it, does it make him fall under the category of "unable to fulfil the Qadhaa Salaats" and so he can just pay fidya?

I am sure someone more learned than me can confirm, but from similar answers on that website I suspect one would have to continue to pray Qadhaa until they pass-away. Then subsequently their next of kin would use their estate to cover the remaining Qadhaas.

Then again, your quote does suggest a bequest during one's lifetime - so I'm not sure.. Anyone able to confirm?

My mother has over 30 years of makeup prayers to perform. Can she give the fidya [expiatory payments] whilst still alive, instead of having to make all those prayers up?

http://www.sunnipath.com/images/A_Image.jpg No, this would be invalid by scholarly consensus and there is no textual permission for this from the Qur'an and Sunna.

It is the position of the fuqaha, including all four sunni schools, that all missed prayers and fasts must be made up. The position otherwise is an aberrant (shadhdh) position, held only by Ibn Hazm, Ibn Taymiyya and those (like Shawkani and, in our times, modernists) who tend to follow their aberrations. [For a detailed discussion of the proofs for this, see Reliance of the Traveller]

Your mother should:

a) repent from the non-performance,

b) resolve to make up all the missed prayers, and

c) then go about making them up at a pace she can sustain, even if it is a small number daily (such as making up just one prayer with its corresponding current obligatory prayer).

Then, if she dies on this resolve and practice before she manages to make up her prayers, the scholars (such as Shaykh Adib al-Kallas of Damascus) say that it is hoped from the Mercy of Allah that He will overlook the unperformed prayers, because:

a) she had repented from the sin of non-performance;

b) she had resolved to perform them;

c) she was actually taking the means of doing so.

And success is only from Allah.

Walaikum assalam,
Faraz Rabbani.
