Sleeping through the Fajr prayer while traveling and waking up after the sun has risen: is it permissible to delay it or should one hasten to perform it?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, another question: A group of people were traveling in a bus and woke up after the sun had risen. Does this mean that when they wake up, they should stop the bus and pray, or should they leave the bus until they pray? The time for the Fajr prayer has passed.
The Shaykh : It is not obligatory for them to hasten. It is obligatory for them, when they wake up, to move a little from their current location and then pray.
The questioner : All right, Shaykh, what if there is no water on the road? Do they get off to perform tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) and pray? Yes, they perform tayammum.
The Shaykh : They continue moving and pray.
The questioner : They should hasten in the prayer so that they perform the prayer immediately.
The Shaykh : Because it is necessary to hasten. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

Whoever sleeps through a prayer, let him pray it when he remembers it.
