The ruling on one who missed the Fajr prayer on Friday
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person misses the Fajr prayer on Friday and wakes up while the imam is praying the Friday prayer, should he pray the Friday prayer or start with Fajr?
Answer:
He does not pray the Friday prayer; rather, he starts with the Fajr prayer, then goes to the Friday prayer. It is not permissible for a person to sleep through the Fajr prayer, not counting the effort to wake up for it, and saying, "Whenever I wake up, I will pray." This is forbidden and not permissible, and the prayer is invalid if he delays it beyond its time without an excuse. However, if he wakes up for Fajr and intends to do so, but sleep overcomes him on some occasions, he is the one who has an excuse. In any case, the order of the obligatory prayers is a duty. Yes.
