Delaying the Fajr prayer until the sun rises due to sleep

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Mu'tasim Muhammad says: What is the ruling on delaying the Fajr prayer until the sun rises because of an excuse, which is that he sleeps a lot or sleeps heavily?

Answer:
It is not permissible for him to do that. It is not permissible to delay the prayer beyond its time, whether it is the Fajr prayer or any other. As for the Fajr prayer, if he is someone who does not wake up, he should instruct someone to wake him or set an alarm to wake him. Praise be to Allah, means of waking up are available. Yes.
