Adhering to the default ruling in order to wake up for the Fajr prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The first message in this episode is one that reached the program from Riyadh, sent by a listener who identified himself by the letters A, M, B, Y. He asks and says: I am in the third year of secondary school, and sometimes I am forced to stay up late for studying, and this causes me to miss the Fajr prayer. What should I do? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. As for what follows, maintaining the performance of the prayer at its time is an obligatory duty and a fard (obligatory) for every Muslim, and it is not permissible for anything to conflict with it, whether it be matters of study or anything else.
It is obligatory for you to take the measures to wake up for the Fajr prayer. Either by instructing someone to wake you up, or by setting a clock that rings when the time for Fajr enters to wake you, or by doing any cause that wakes you up for the Fajr prayer.
Because this is a matter that is necessary. Yes, studying is required, but it does not conflict with performing the obligatory prayer. And if the determination is firm, the intention is sound, and you resolve to wake up for the Fajr prayer, then Allah will help you. Yes.
