The ruling on describing those who do not pray Fajr in congregation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: Among Muslims today, there are many who do not pray Fajr in congregation in the mosque. Are these people, in general, to be described as such?
Answer:
It is said: Yes. The one who does not attend the congregational prayer has hypocrisy in him, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) described them as such. He said, “The heaviest prayers for the hypocrites are the 'Isha' prayer and the Fajr prayer.” He described them as such. As for a specific person who missed the Fajr prayer, he may have an excuse that you do not know about, so do not describe him as a hypocrite. Rather, advise him and say, “I fear for you the danger of hypocrisy, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said so and so.” Yes.
