The Rawatib of Fajr for the One Who Missed the Fajr Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed the sunnah of Fajr before the Fajr prayer, after the sun had risen. So if a person sleeps or misses the Fajr prayer, and then the sun rises, does he pray the sunnah before the obligatory prayer?
Answer:
Yes, he prays the rawatib. The rawatib of Fajr has a specific status; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to be consistent in praying it, and he did not neglect it, whether traveling or resident. So he prays the rawatib of Fajr before it, then prays Fajr as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. However, if he comes and finds the congregation praying Fajr, or if it is after the time of Fajr, he joins them in the Fajr prayer. When they finish, he prays the Fajr rawatib after that. Yes.
