Making Up the Rawatib of Fajr and Sitting for Dhikr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, I missed the rawatib before the Fajr prayer. After the prayer, I sat down to recite the dhikr that comes after the prayer, but a man came to me and objected, saying, "Pray the nafilah first, then sit for the dhikr. It is necessary to perform the nafilah immediately after the prayer." Is this correct?
Answer:
This is not correct. You may pray the nafilah before Fajr immediately after Fajr, or you may delay it until after the sun has risen, and the latter is better. Delaying it until the sun rises is better, and there is no harm in you reciting the dhikr. Once the sun has risen, you pray the rawatib of Fajr. Yes.
