Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: In our country, we pray Fajr before its time, that is, before the dawn light appears. Should we pray with them and not repeat the prayer, or should we pray with them and then repeat the prayer?
Answer:
No. The Fajr prayer is best performed with the dawn light. It is best to pray the Fajr prayer with the dawn light after the appearance of the dawn. When the dawn appears, the prayer becomes permissible, and praying it early is better. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would enter the prayer while the Companions did not know one another due to the darkness, and he would not leave the prayer until a man knew his neighbor, because he (peace and blessings be upon him) would lengthen the Fajr prayer. He would lengthen the recitation and lengthen the prayer. He would enter it early in the morning and continue in it until he did not leave it until the light of day had become clear and a man knew his neighbor. So, reminding people of it after the time has entered is better than delaying it. Yes.
