Assalamu Alaikum Ma'am Aasiya My name is Farzana. I had a very, very high fever for the past two days, and I couldn't even get up. My prayers have been missed, including the Tahajjud prayer. Please tell me how I should now offer those missed obligatory prayers (Qada prayers). Thank you.

You were quite ill for two days, due to which you were unable to perform your prayers. Look, you should definitely perform your prayers even during sickness. You should have prayed sitting or even lying down, because [now] two days of prayers have been missed. Perform these prayers as Qada (make-up): perform the Fajr prayer with the [current] Fajr, and likewise, offer the remaining prayers [with their corresponding times].
