Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I suffer from heavy sleep that delays me from the Fajr prayer, and also from my work, even though I sleep early and set an alarm. Is there a way to help me get up, and what is the ruling on delaying the prayer from its time in such a case?
Answer:
Because you have become accustomed to this, and when a person becomes accustomed to something, it is difficult for him to leave the habit. So accustom yourself to getting up and being active in prayer, and pay attention to that, and Allah the Exalted will help you with it. It is not permissible to delay the prayer from its time on a permanent basis. However, if you intend to get up and are determined to do so, and it is your habit to get up, but sleep overcomes you sometimes, that is an excuse. But making this a habit and a way of life is not permissible. Yes.
