The ruling on delaying the Fajr prayer until work hours
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A worker, O Shaykh, if he wants to sleep, he sets the alarm for the time he leaves for his work, then he gets up and prays the Fajr prayer.
Answer:
We ask Allah for well-being. His prayer is not accepted from him because he delayed the prayer intentionally; he delayed it past its time intentionally. Also, he abandoned the congregational prayer, and it is obligatory for him to pray with the congregation and to pray within its time. So he has committed two sins. He must repent to Allah the Exalted and Mighty, and pray with the Muslims in the mosques, then go back and sleep until the time for work arrives. Yes.
