It is not permissible to delay the obligatory prayer until after the sun has risen

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. What is the ruling on one who prays after the sun has risen?

Answer:
It is not permissible to delay the obligatory prayer until after the sun has risen, except for one who is overcome by sleep without his own choice. He prays when he wakes up, whenever he wakes up. This is based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
Whoever forgets a prayer or sleeps through it, let him pray it when he remembers it. There is no expiation for it except that.من نسي صلاة أو نام عنها فليصلها إذا ذكرها، لا كفارة لها إلا ذلك،
Sunan ad-Darimi 2:45
This applies to one who is overcome by sleep occasionally. As for one who habitually sleeps and does not hold himself accountable for getting up for the Fajr prayer, but rather it is his habit to sleep and pray whenever he wakes up, this action is not permissible for him, and his prayer is not valid; because he intentionally caused it to be performed outside its time. Yes.
