Qaza namaz calculator: how many prayers and fasts to make up
This qaza namaz calculator estimates how many obligatory prayers you missed between puberty and the day you began praying regularly — often called qaza-e-umri — and how many Ramadan fasts (qaza roza) fall in the same years. Choose your school: the Hanafi count is six a day, because witr is wajib in that school; the Shafi‘i, Maliki, Hanbali and Ja‘fari counts are the five daily prayers.
Once you have the totals, press Track these totals. The tracker lets you tick off each prayer as you make it up — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha and witr, plus fasts — with a progress bar for each. Your progress is stored only in this browser on this device; nothing is uploaded and there is no account.
It is an estimate to help you plan, not a ruling. Ask your local scholar or mosque about your own case.

How the count works
Prayers owed = (days from puberty to the day regular prayer began − days already prayed − days on which prayer was not due) × prayers a day. For women, prayer is not due during menstruation (hayḍ) or post-natal bleeding (nifās), and those prayers are not made up; the page estimates menstruation as the days a month you enter × the number of lunar months. Fasts missed during menstruation, on the other hand, are made up, so they stay in the fasts count.
Puberty is reached by its physical signs. When no signs appear earlier, the Mufti of the Federal Territories (Malaysia) summarises the schools as follows: 15 lunar years for boys and girls in the Shafi‘i and Hanbali schools and in the view of Abu Yusuf and Muhammad, which is the fatwa position in the Hanafi school; 18 for boys and 17 for girls in Abu Hanifa’s own view; 18 in the well-known Maliki view. Most Ja‘fari jurists take 15 lunar years for boys and 9 for girls.
| School | Prayers a day | Puberty age if no earlier signs |
|---|---|---|
| Hanafi | 5 + witr = 6 | 15 lunar years (Abu Hanifa: 18 boys, 17 girls) |
| Shafi‘i | 5 | 15 lunar years |
| Maliki | 5 | 18 years (other views 15–17) |
| Hanbali | 5 | 15 lunar years |
| Ja‘fari | 5 | 15 boys, 9 girls (lunar years) |
Worked example and planning
Born on 1 January 2000 (24 Ramadan 1420), a man reaches 15 lunar years on 24 Ramadan 1435 — 21 July 2014 in the Umm al-Qura calendar, about half a year before 15 solar years. If he began praying regularly on 1 January 2024, the period is 3,451 days: 20,706 prayers in the Hanafi count with witr, or 17,255 with five a day. The same years contain ten Ramadans: the last week of 1435 and nine full months.
Many people make up one extra set with each daily prayer. At two sets a day, 3,451 days take about 4.7 years. For a fast missed through permanent inability rather than neglect, see the fidya calculator; for your Hijri age, the Hijri age calculator; for today’s times, prayer times.
Qaza Namaz Calculator & Tracker FAQ
How do I calculate qaza namaz?
Count the days from puberty to the day you began praying regularly, subtract days you did pray (and, for women, days of menstruation and post-natal bleeding), then multiply by 5 — or 6 with witr in the Hanafi school. The qaza namaz calculator does this for you.
Is witr included in qaza (Hanafi)?
Yes. Witr is wajib in the Hanafi school, so missed witr is made up and the count is six a day. Other schools count five.
What is the qaza namaz count for Shia?
The Ja‘fari count is the five daily prayers; puberty is commonly taken as 15 lunar years for boys and 9 for girls if no earlier signs.
How do I count missed fasts (qaza roza)?
The page finds every Ramadan between puberty and your start date and subtracts the fasts you kept. Fasts missed during menstruation are made up too, so they stay in the count.
Where is my progress saved?
Only in this browser’s local storage on this device. It is not uploaded, and clearing site data or using another device starts afresh. Use Copy progress to keep a note.
Is the count exact?
No — it is an estimate for planning. When unsure, scholars generally advise erring on the side of more.
