QADA SALAAH: If a person misses a Salaah, then on remembering it, he should immediately make Qada of it. It is a sin to delay offering a Qada Salaah without any valid excuse. If a person misses a Salaah and does not make Qada of it immediately, but postpones it to another time or to another day, and then suddenly dies - he will get a double sin. One for missing the Salaah and the other for not making Qada of it immediately.
