Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. Finally, your eminence, Shaykh Salih, asks: I say that as a result of exhausting work, I am unable to get up for the Fajr prayer at its time with the congregation, and this happens often. So how do you guide me? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
So we guide you by saying that it is obligatory for you to pray Fajr with the congregation, and it is not permissible for you to abandon the congregational prayer or to delay the prayer beyond its time. Fatigue is not an excuse. You can reduce the work and sleep early for the sake of the prayer. The prayer must be given its due consideration, so it is obligatory for you to attend it with the congregation. Yes.
