Making up the Fajr prayer for one who was overcome by sleep after the adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is this statement considered valid in the Shari'ah? And is there any scholar who holds this view, namely that if a person wakes up for the Fajr prayer after the adhan, and then his eyes overcome him and he falls asleep, he has no obligation to make up that prayer, and if he does make it up, it does not suffice for him, but he is only required to repent? Is this a valid opinion?
Answer:
This applies to one who abandoned it intentionally. As for one who abandoned it out of laziness, or because of sleep that overcame him, he must make it up without a doubt, and no one says that he does not have to make it up.
