Guidance for the one who is late for the Fajr prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: What is your guidance, Honorable Shaykh, for the one who delays, or delays after the Fajr prayer, repeatedly?
Answer:
So this is one who has neglected the prayer. The one who wastes the time of the prayer wastes the prayer. “After them there succeeded a generation who neglected the prayer.” What is meant by this is not that they abandoned it entirely, but that they pray it at other than its time. They sleep, and when he wakes up after the sun has risen, he prays Fajr. He sleeps through Zuhr, 'Asr, and Maghrib, and when he gets up after Maghrib, he prays Zuhr, 'Asr, and Maghrib. This prayer does not benefit him because he has neglected it. To neglect it means to neglect its times. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:[An-Nisa 4:103] at their appointed times. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you

Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a decree of specified times.
