The Best After the Fajr Prayer: Recitation or Dhikr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And in his second question, he asks: Is it better to recite the Qur’an, or to do tasbih, or to seek forgiveness after the Fajr prayer until the sun rises?
The Shaykh:
The prescribed and time-bound dhikr is better than reciting the Qur’an at that time, because reciting the Qur’an is not missed; a person can recite it at any time. As for the time-bound dhikr, if its time passes, it is missed, and its virtue is missed. Yes.

May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
And the lesser of two good deeds may be superior at its specific time. Yes.
