Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: My wife says, "My husband does not pray the Fajr prayer except late, and often he prays it with the Zuhr prayer. Sometimes he breaks his fast and goes out, then prays. I have advised him many times, but he does not listen to me. I wake him for prayer, but he does not respond to me. What should I do with him?"
Answer:
The one who intentionally sleeps through the prayer on a continuous basis is one who wastes the prayer. If he prays it, it is not valid from him. If he prays it outside its time, it is not valid from him, and it is not accepted from him. So he must repent to Allah the Exalted and Majestic, and he must guard the prayers in their times. Yes.
