Question:
If a servant of Allah wakes up late for the Fajr prayer and the prayer has already begun, which is better: that he prays the rawatib of Fajr in his home, even if he misses a rak'ah with the congregation?
Answer:
No, he should not rush to the prayer and the rawatib of Fajr after the Fajr prayer, or when the sun has risen. Praise be to Allah, the rawatib of Fajr is not missed. Yes.
