Deliberately delaying the Fajr prayer beyond its time

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: In this age, many Muslims have become accustomed to deliberately delaying the Fajr prayer beyond its time, so that it is not prayed until they are leaving for work. What is your guidance for such people? And what is the ruling that follows from this action of theirs?

Answer:
It is obligatory for them to repent to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and to rise and pray with the Muslims in its time. If it were a worldly job, they would not delay it, but because this is a right, a right of Allah, and it is part of the deeds of the Hereafter, they were lazy about it. They will regret it if they continue on this path; they will regret it soon, and they will not be able to make up for what they have missed for themselves. So they must hasten to repent and rise with the Muslims for the Fajr prayer. You are a Muslim, why do you delay behind the Muslims?
The Muslims are like one body, and like a solidly built structure. Why do you delay behind the ranks of the Muslims, separating yourself from them, and delay the prayer beyond its time, not praying until you get up? This is not a valid prayer; the prayer is not valid, because Allah commanded you to pray in its time He commanded you to pray in congregation. He commanded you to pray in the mosques in which Allah’s name is mentioned and His name is exalted. You are a servant who is commanded. You are the one who plans for yourself in worship and makes worship according to your desire and your way. It is not up to you. It is up to Allah. You are a servant, and it is obligatory upon you to obey and listen. If you want salvation for yourself, that is one thing, but if you do not want salvation for yourself, then you are the one who is negligent, and you are responsible for yourself on the Day of Resurrection. Yes.
