The Fajr Sunnah: Is it counted among the rawatib?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, S. F. from Algeria, asks: Is the Fajr prayer a sunnah that counts among the rawatib, or are two other rak'ahs prayed after it and before the prayer, making it a rawatib sunnah?
Answer:
The Fajr rawatib are two rak'ahs before the prayer, and they are not repeated. This is because once the Fajr time begins, the time of prohibition for voluntary prayers has entered. One prays only the two rak'ahs of Fajr and does not add any voluntary prayers to them, because it is a time of prohibition.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
