Someone has many years of prayers to make up and are looking for the most succinct form to make them up as soon as possible. How can that be done?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is obligatory to make up, means to perform the Qadha, of every
missed obligatory prayer. The easiest way to perform all the Qadha prayers if the
period is long, is to perform only the Wajib parts of the Salaah. Only
the Wajib parts of the Salaah with out the recommended parts will make the Qadha easier. And it is good to make a timetable every day and night to spend some time in
performing of the Qadha and that also will make it easy Insha Allah.

Wassalam.
If someone has over six years of fasts that he was negligent about due to not being on the right path, but is on the right path now, how does he make up those fasts? Is there Kaffarah for deliberately not fasting, or is it just Qadha?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

There is a Qadha' and Kaffara for every day of missed fasting of the Month of Ramadhan. The Kaffara is either fasting two consequent months or feeding sixty poor believers.

Qadha must be done as soon as possible.

Wassalam.
What time does Maghrib and Isha prayers become Qadha?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

The end of the time for Maghrib and 'Isha is the middle of the night in the case of the delay being voluntary. 

Middle of the night here means the middle between ghurub of the sun and Fajr time. This means it would depend on location and time of the year. 

If the delay is not voluntary, and one has an excuse, like ending menstrual cycle after the middle of the night, or sleeping, or unconscious, then the time would extend until before Fajr. 

Please refer to your Marja' taqleed for details.

And Allah knows best. 
While praying Fajr I remembered that I did not pray Isha the previous evening. How should I make up for it?
Abbas Di Palma

as salam alaikum

you should make-up your 'Isha with the intention of qada' as soon as you can.

If you missed your 'Isha prayer due to an act of negligence and not by mere forgetfulness or similar impossibilities, you should also repent sincerely to Allah and do not miss it anymore in such way.

With prayers for your success.
