The ruling on the one who misses the Fajr prayer due to sleep

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I pray the 'Isha' prayer in congregation and set the alarm for Fajr, but often I miss it?

Answer:
If you missed it unintentionally and sleep overcame you, you are excused. However, if you delay, sleep, and say, "Whenever I get up, I will pray," that is not permissible; it is forbidden for you, and your prayer is also invalid. If you miss the time, it is not valid except for one who was overcome by sleep, one who intends to combine prayers, or one who forgot the prayer. If he forgets it, he prays it when he remembers it. Yes.
