The ruling on one who wakes up in a narrow time before the sun rises
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you. Quickly, I have a question, by Allah. We are in a hurry. One wakes up before the sun rises,
The Shaykh : But your voice, my brother, is not clear. Your voice is muffled.
The questioner : Okay, okay. One wakes up near the dawn.
The Shaykh : What are you saying? Okay, okay, and the voice has not changed.
The questioner : One wakes up near the dawn, so I am afraid that the time will pass for him,
The Shaykh : What are you afraid of?
The questioner : The time for the prayer.
The Shaykh : The time for the prayer will pass for him.
The questioner : Yes, so what is permissible for him? Can he perform wudu and pray, then take a bath?
The Shaykh : No, it is not permissible except that he takes a bath. But he did not wake up except in that narrow moment, so he should proceed to take a bath and then pray, even if the sun rises on him. However, he must be careful not to stay up late or sit up until the middle of the night, such that he naturally cannot wake up for the Fajr prayer except after the sun has risen or just before it rises. And beware of that. And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.
