Question:
What is the ruling on one who stays up in his house until just before Fajr, then sleeps and does not wake up until after Zuhr, and prays Fajr and Zuhr?
Answer:
This person does not actually pray, because he has taken the prayer out of its time without an excuse. If one takes the prayer out of its time without an excuse, it is not accepted from him, because he has not prayed the prayer that Allah made obligatory upon him; rather, he prayed according to his own desires. This is not accepted:[Al-Ma'un 107:4-5]. The generation that came after them neglected the prayer. Neglecting the prayer means taking it out of its time without a legitimate religious excuse. And this man has no excuse, because he intentionally sleeps. He intentionally sleeps and says, "Whenever I get up, I will pray." We say: Do not pray; what you pray is a prayer that is of no benefit. However, you must repent to Allah and be consistent with the prayer at its appointed times and in congregation. As for a prayer without repentance from this act, it is not accepted. Yes.

فَوَيْلٌ لِّلْمُصَلِّينَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَن صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ
