Make-up Prayer or Voluntary Prayer?

Writer: John StarlingJohn Starling

Q: Can I pray voluntary prayers if I have many missed prayers to make up.

A: When you have missed obligatory prayers to make up, purely voluntary/nafl mutlaq prayers are not allowed and do not count. Other prayers such as the Eid prayer and the highly recommended specific prayers such as the ratibah prayers and witr are permitted.
