Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah bless you, I am unable to sleep at night due to a matter beyond my control. I sit on the bed from nine in the evening and cannot sleep until the end of the night. Then, a short time before Fajr, I fall asleep and do not wake up until eight o'clock, so I delay the Fajr prayer. I have tried many times, so what is the solution? May Allah reward you. What is your advice? And am I sinful for this?
Answer:
Yes, you are sinful for this. So do not sleep until you have prayed Fajr. Try to pray Fajr by any means, and do not sleep in a way that causes you to miss its time. Yes. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
