The Ruling on Sleeping Through the 'Asr Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Salih, may Allah preserve you, the listener Badr Hamed says: Sometimes I come home from my work tired and fall asleep, and I miss the 'Asr prayer unintentionally, and I wake up after the Maghrib prayer. Do I pray the 'Asr prayer first, or the Maghrib prayer? Because the time for the Maghrib prayer has entered.

Answer:
First, your doing this is not permissible. You sleep while knowing that your sleep will cause you to miss the prayer. And if you need to sleep, you instruct someone to wake you up to pray with the congregation. Yes.
