Advice for the one who sleeps through the Fajr prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I try very hard to get up for the Fajr prayer, but most of the time I do not pray until after the sun has risen. Is my prayer valid? And what do you advise me to do? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
If you want to sleep, set an alarm to wake you for the prayer. Set an alarm, or ask those around you to wake you for the prayer. Ask your family or your colleagues around you. It is not permissible for you to say, “Whenever I get up, I will pray.” No, that is not permissible. It is obligatory for you to get up for the prayer in its time with the congregation. Because you should ask someone to wake you, or set an alarm that goes off when the time enters. You get up and pray. Praise be to Allah, things are made easy, and no one has an excuse.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
