Making Up Missed Prayers

Question
I used to pray the obligatory and voluntary prayers regularly. I heard in one of the programs that I should pray the current obligatory prayer along with a missed obligatory prayer, and not pray the Sunnah, so I did that?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: Whoever has missed many prayers, it is best for him to pray an additional prayer with each obligatory prayer with the intention of making up for what he has missed, and he should not neglect the regular Sunnah prayers; for they are a great good and a tremendous reward, and should only be abandoned out of necessity. And God knows best.
