The Fajr Prayer During Work Hours After Setting the Alarm

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah protect you, I usually set my alarm for work at seven in the morning, and I pray the Fajr prayer at that time. Is my prayer valid or not?

Answer:
No, it is not valid, because you are intentionally setting the time to seven, which is the time of Dhuha. You set the alarm for the dawn to break, for the adhan, in order to attend the congregational prayer. As for delaying the time until you arrive at work and then praying before leaving, if this happens repeatedly, your prayer is not valid. Yes, because you intentionally took it out of its time. Yes.
