Delaying the Fajr prayer until the sun rises

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner: I have three questions, Shaykh Khalid.

The presenter:
The Shaykh: Go ahead, raise the question. The audio.

The questioner:
The questioner: May Allah preserve you. The first is delaying the Fajr prayer until the sun rises. I mean, it is not a permanent habit.

The presenter:
Okay, the second question.

The questioner:
The questioner: The second question: Is it better to pray the Duha prayer after the sunrise, or is it better before the Zuhr prayer?

The presenter:
The Shaykh: Okay, the matter.

The questioner:
The questioner: The third is also regarding the sunrise: Do I pray it immediately after the 'Isha' prayer, or before the Fajr prayer?

The presenter:
The Shaykh: Repeat, repeat the third question.

The questioner:
The questioner: What is best for the Witr prayer, may Allah bless you.

The presenter:
The Shaykh: Good audio.

The questioner:
The questioner: Performing it immediately after the 'Isha' prayer, or before the Fajr prayer. Okay.

The presenter:
The questioner: Thank you, Abdullah, may Allah bless you.

The questioner:
The Shaykh: He asks, may Allah preserve you, about delaying the Fajr prayer until the sun rises?

The Shaykh:
The Shaykh: It is not permissible. When the sun rises, the time for Fajr has ended. So if he delays the Fajr prayer, two things are obligatory for him: first, to preserve the time, and second, to pray with the congregation. Both are obligatory: preserving the time and praying with the congregation. He must get up and pray Fajr with the congregation, praying it with them at the beginning of its time, so that he obtains the great reward and the great recompense from Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He.
The Shaykh: So the best of the prayers are the Fajr prayer and the 'Asr prayer, because the angels of the night and the angels of the day gather in the Fajr prayer and gather in the 'Asr prayer. For this reason, he said, "The Fajr Qur'an," meaning the prayer
dawn. Indeed, the recitation of dawn is ever witnessed.الْفَجْرِ إِنَّ قُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ كَانَ مَشْهُودًا
[Al-Isra 17:78]
, meaning that the recording angels attend it. Yes.
