Performing qadha salaah without specifying which salaah
Question
I had a few qaza salaah that I needed to pray and I prayed them without specifying if it was Asr/Zuhr/Esha, since I had just written it down as 4 rakaat qaza.
Now I'm feeling extremely anxious because of waswasa that all my prayers were not valid. If they were not valid how can I repeat them if I don't know which time's prayer they were?
Answer
They were not valid. The salaah has to be specified.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
