The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If I wake up a few minutes before sunrise, do I pray Fajr first or do I pray the rawatib?
The Shaykh:
Pray the rawatib and then pray Fajr. When the Companions slept through the Fajr prayer until the burning sun woke them up, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) moved from that valley to another valley. Then they prayed the rawatib, and then he ordered Bilal to give the iqamah, so they prayed Fajr. Yes.
The questioner:
What did you say?
The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
