Ruling on One Who Missed Many Prayers

Question
What is the ruling on someone who started praying a long time after reaching puberty, or who frequently interrupted their prayers?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The prayer is an obligation that remains due, and it cannot be waived by anything. Therefore, you must perform an obligatory prayer along with each prayer until you make up for everything you owe. If you do not know the number of missed prayers, estimate and strive, and God knows best.
