Q: I know I missed a prayer one day but I cannot remember which prayer it was. What should I do?

A: If someone knows they missed a prayer one day but cannot remember which prayer they missed, they must pray all five prayers from that day with the intention that each is a make-up for the missed prayer. This is the only way to achieve the certainty required to fulfill the obligation.
