Prohibiting Sleep Through the Fajr Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the sisters, with Shaykh Salih, says: My husband sleeps deeply, and his phone wakes him for the Fajr prayer, but he does not wake up. Sometimes he prays Fajr at sunrise. What is required of him? And what should he do? Please advise us, may Allah reward you with the best reward.
Answer:
It is not permissible for him to sleep through the Fajr prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw in a dream, and the vision of the messengers is revelation from Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. He saw a man having his head crushed with stones; every time it was crushed, it returned to its original state. So he asked Jibril (peace be upon him), who was with him on the day he was raised to the heavens, about them. He informed him that these are the ones whose heads are heavy for the Fajr prayer. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
