Question: Question on Namaz
Salams. I went on a trip. Before i went for the trip I was Sahe Tarteeb.(No Qadaas left). When i was returning from the trip, in the van, i had Wudhu. I found myself with my head in my laps(like when you sleep). I got up and i couldn't remember going to sleep. It felt like i never went to sleep.(But inside it felt like I did) I got home and prayed my Esha Salat with the same Wudhu. Is my Nazmaz accepted?
About a month ago i done Qadaa of that Esha Salat because i just wanted to be sure i prayed that Namaz. Is all my other Namaz accepted from the time of the end of the trip until I prayed the Qadaa(because i was Sahe Tarteeb) as i had done Qadaa of that Esha Salat after about 6 months. Jazakallah

Bismillah

Al-jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah's guidance)


As long as you did not fall asleep lying down or by resting the body against something, and as long as you are certain of making Wudhu before that, your Wudhu and 'Isha Salah is valid. All your Salah are therefore valid.

If in the case, your wudhu broke due to falling asleep etc, and you missed the Isha prayer, then you will have to pray the Isha Qadha before any prescribed Salah, as you are Sahib Tarteeb. For example, in your case you have missed the Isha prayer, then at the time of Fajr, you must perform the Qadha' of Isha. If the sequence is disturbed then you will have to pray it again. If you forgot to pray the Qadha and you prayed the prescribed Salah instead then the sequence will be waived. Similarly if the time of the prescribed Salah remains so short that the prescribed Salah will be over, then the prescribed Salah will be prayed first and then the Qadha Salah. (Quduri Pg.45)
