Question:
He says: Shaykh, this questioner asks: What are the specific means that help one with the night prayer? I stay up with my colleagues in the break room, and sleep takes hold of me until I sleep through the Fajr prayer. I hope the Shaykh will answer?
Answer:

You want the reward and recompense from Allah. If this leads to missing the Fajr prayer with the congregation or within its time, the matter is more severe, and this is forbidden for you. Yes.
