Question

If I have a lot of prayers to recover, can I pray before all Zuhr prayers in every time (after Fajr, Asr, Maghrib) and then recover Asr or Must I prayer Asr with Asr, Zuhr with Zuhr?

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Answer:

The prayers that are missed can be prayed in any order. So, it is possible to pray all the qadha Zhur prayers till you have made all of the Zhur prayers. After that, you can make up the other prayers. You don’t have to pray Asr with Asr and Zhur with Zhur and so on.

You should keep in mind that there are sometimes that it is disliked performing prayers. These times are after Fajr till sunrise, at the time to the solar zenith (about 5-10 mins before Zhur time comes in), and after the Asr prayer when the sun becomes cool (changes its color in light and is near setting) till the Sunsets. 

Only Allah knows best
