Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: What is your advice for the one who is afflicted with abandoning the Fajr prayer, so that he does not pray it except after the sun has risen, until it has become a habit for him?
Answer:
It is not valid from him. This is what he prayed. The one who persists in not praying except after the sun has risen, this is what he prayed. This is one who abandons the prayer. So he must repent to Allah before death and hasten to repent, and he must maintain the five prayers, and Fajr in particular, because some people sleep through it and are lazy, so he must save himself before he dies while he is in this state, neglecting the prayer. As for intentionally delaying it until its time has passed, it is not accepted from him and it is not valid. Yes.
