When many prayers have been missed, the source requires enough identification to know which obligation is being paid.

• the first Zuhr still owed, or
• the last Zuhr still owed,
and similarly for the other prayers.
This avoids needing to remember an exact calendar date for every old missed prayer while still giving the intention a definite target.
