Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: Is a heavy sleeper excused for delaying the prayer? And what is the ruling on congregational prayer?
Answer:
He has no excuse for that, because he can sleep from the beginning of the night until he gets his share of rest. He can set an alarm to wake him up. He can instruct those around him, whether family members or neighbors, to wake him for prayer. Yes.
