The ruling on praying before the time enters for one who fears that sleep will overcome him and cause him to miss the prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. The questioner says: If a person is traveling or working, and he delays until near the dawn, and he is unable to resist sleep, and staying awake becomes difficult for him before the Fajr prayer, what should he do? Does he pray before the time enters?

Answer:
No, praying before the time enters is not permissible. Even if he sleeps a little, a brief sleep that relieves him, and then he gets up and prays, this is what is obligatory for him.
