Title: I have many qaza namaz of my lifetime. I want to offer the qaza namaz with the daily five times prayers, but what should be my priority

Question: I have many qaza namaz of my lifetime. I want to offer the qaza namaz with the daily five times prayers, but what should be my priority? The fardh is the most important, of course. After that should the priority be the qaza namaz or the sunnat namaz and then nafl? Example: I have little time and I can offer only eight rakahs in Zuhr. Should I say my fardh and the four rakah qaza or should I complete the sunnah and leave off qaza? Please advise.

Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 733/733/M=1433) Keep on offering daily fardh and sunnah muakkadah salah. And instead of offering sunnah ghair muakkadah offer your missed (qaza) salahs. There are four rakahs sunnah muakkadah before the fardh of Zuhr, do not leave it. Likewise, two rakahs are sunnah muakkadah after Zuhr, offer it first and then start offering qaza salah.
