Calculating qadha salaah

Q:

1. How do we know number of missed prayer when we used to pray occasionally (based on years) and how to perform those missed prayers?

2. Can we attach one extra prayer in lieu of missed prayers in Fajr and Maghrib?

A:

1. If you have a record of the prayers that were missed then you may work it out accordingly. And if you do not have the exact number then use your discretion.

2. If you mean performing a qadha with the fardh of Maghrib and Fajr then this is permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
