May other people perform the qada prayers for us?

For the worships that are performed only with body, it is not valid to perform that worship instead of another person (Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar, II, 535; Shayhizada, Majma‘ al-anhu , I, 455). Because everyone will account for their own deeds (Isra, 17/13; Ya-Sin, 36/54; Tur, 52/16, 21; Muddaththir, 74/38). In this respect, a person cannot perform qada prayers on behalf of a deceased or alive person. Therefore, everyone should pay attention to establishing their prayers while they are alive and healthy, and make efforts for not standing before Allah as a servant in debt.
