Doubt about performing the Fajr prayer after sleeping
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A person asks: He stayed up late at night, then woke up for the Fajr prayer after it was late. He performed wudu, prayed, and went back to sleep. After he woke up, he doubted whether he had prayed or not. Does he repeat the prayer?
Answer:
If this is a case of waswas (whispers from Satan), he does not repeat the prayer. He should seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan. But if this is not waswas, and he is simply doubting whether he prayed or not, the default is that he did not pray, so he prays to clear his conscience. Yes.
