Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Nuwayf from al-Ta'if says: Shaykh Salih, may Allah reward you with good, I would like advice for the one who delays the prayer beyond its time.
Answer:
It is not permissible for a Muslim to delay the prayer beyond its time; rather, it is obligatory for him to pray it in its time with the Muslim congregation in the mosque and to maintain it, and not to be lax with it or sleep through it or be lazy about it. It is obligatory for the Muslim to maintain the prayer because it is the pillar of Islam, and it is the second of the pillars of Islam after the two testimonies. He the Exalted and Majestic said:[Al-Baqarah 2:238]
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
