Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Ibrahim says: We would like advice from you for the general Muslim community who are lax in prayer, especially the Fajr prayer, delaying it until after the sun has risen, or sometimes not praying it at all?

Answer:
Allah the Exalted said:
Maintain with care the [obligatory] prayers and [in particular] the middle prayerحَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَىٰ
[Al-Baqarah 2:238]
and He threatened those who delay the prayer beyond its time without an excuse. He the Exalted said:
(4) So woe to those who pray (5) [But] who are heedless of their prayer -فَوَيْلٌ لِّلْمُصَلِّينَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَن صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ
[Al-Ma'un 107:4-5]
. So they pray, but they do not pray it at its time. These are those who are negligent regarding the prayer and waste it, yes.
