The Ruling on the Fajr Sunnah and Making It Up After the Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on the Sunnah of the Fajr prayer? Is it obligatory? And is it possible to perform it after the prayer?

Answer:
The rawatib of Fajr is not obligatory; rather, it is a confirmed Sunnah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not leave it, whether resident or traveling. So it is a confirmed Sunnah, and its place is before the Fajr prayer, after the appearance of the dawn, before the Fajr prayer. If it is missed, he may pray it immediately after Fajr, and he may delay it until the sun rises, or until after the sun has risen. Yes.
