Summary
Missed obligatory prayers must be made up, whether they were missed with a valid excuse or without one. A person making up a prayer behind an imam leading Tarawih has a valid congregational prayer, since a difference in intention between imam and follower does not invalidate it. Someone who deliberately missed prayers without excuse must give priority to making them up before voluntary prayers including Tarawih, and is advised to do so behind the Tarawih imam. Someone who missed prayers with a valid excuse is encouraged to make them up promptly and may choose to do so before or after Tarawih, or behind the Tarawih imam.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Menggantikan solat atau qada bagi orang yang meninggalkan solat fardu adalah wajib ke atas setiap umat islam yang mukalaf sama ada solat fardu tersebut ditinggalkan secara sengaja atau tidak[1].
