Is sleeping after the Fajr prayer and immediately after the sun rises disliked, given that my work starts at twelve-thirty?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is sleeping after the Fajr prayer and immediately after the sun rises disliked? I mean, my work starts at twelve-thirty.

The Shaykh:
There is no doubt that engaging in the remembrance of Allah the Exalted at the beginning of the day, after the Fajr prayer, and reciting the Qur'an is better and more excellent, so that one begins the day in worship and the remembrance of Allah the Exalted. They warn Muslims against that, and likewise, being early in worldly affairs; being early in seeking provision is also better than sleep and laziness. This is based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), where he encouraged being early in seeking provision. However, sleeping at night after Fajr or after the sun rises is not prohibited, except that it is contrary to what is preferred and better. Yes.

The questioner:
What you mentioned about her work starting at twelve and the Messenger.

The Shaykh:
There is no harm, even if she has a chance at work and the work is delayed. As we mentioned, it is better for her to engage in the remembrance of Allah the Exalted and the recitation of the Qur'an during this time than to sleep. Likewise, if she has worldly tasks at home, it is better and more excellent for her to attend to them before going to work than to sleep.

The questioner:
And it seems this gives her a wider opportunity in education.

The Shaykh:
Yes, it gives her a ten-minute opportunity and guides her as well.
