Question:

Is there an easy way to perform 2 years' worth of missed prayers?

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

Answer:

An easy method to make up several years of missed salah is to pray only the fardh rak’aat(compulsory units) of every missed prayer after every salah one performs every day. Meaning, pray a missed Fajr after one performs their Fajr prayer, pray a missed Zuhr after one performs their Zuhr prayer, and so on. Another method is, one may set an hour or half of each of their day in order to pray five missed prayers. If one is consistent with these methods, as the years go on, the individual will eventually complete all missed prayers, Inshaa Allah.

Only Allah knows best
