The fifth question of the fatwa number ( 20088 )
Q5: A person wakes up from sleep after he has missed the Fajr prayer and after the sun has risen. Does he pray the Sunnah of Fajr first, or does he pray the Fajr first? What is the correct ruling?
A5: If a person sleeps through the Fajr prayer or forgets it until the sun has risen, it is prescribed that he begins with the Sunnah of Fajr before it. If he is unable to perform it before the prayer, such as if he joins the congregation, he prays it after the obligatory Fajr prayer. This is based on what Abu Dawud narrated in his Sunan from Qays ibn 'Amr who said:Mishkat al-Masabih 1044 . This indicates that if one is unable to perform the Sunnah of Fajr before the obligatory prayer, he prays both after it or
after the sun has risen; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he and his Companions slept through the Fajr prayer on one of his journeys and did not wake up until the heat of the sun, prayed it as he used to pray it in its time with the adhan and iqamah, and he prayed its rawatib before it. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

If he is unable to perform it before the prayer, such as if he joins the congregation, he prays it after the obligatory Fajr prayer. This is based on what Abu Dawud narrated in his Sunan from Qays ibn 'Amr who said:
when the prophet saw a man praying two rak'as after the Morning Prayer he said, “At the Morning Prayer pray two rak'as ." The man replied I had not prayed the two rak'as which precede them, so I prayed themjust now,” and God’s Messenger said nothing.
رأى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم رجلا يصلي بعد صلاة الصبح ركعتين فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: صلاة الصبح ركعتان، فقال الرجل: إني لم أكن صليت الركعتين اللتين قبلهما فصليتهما الآن، فسكت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلمafter the sun has risen; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he and his Companions slept through the Fajr prayer on one of his journeys and did not wake up until the heat of the sun, prayed it as he used to pray it in its time with the adhan and iqamah, and he prayed its rawatib before it.
