Question:
His second question, Honorable Shaykh, is that he is a young man who loves to pray the Fajr prayer in congregation, but he has a problem facing him, which is heavy sleep. He says, Shaykh, that he takes the means, such as an alarm clock and the like, but he goes to sleep late.
Answer:
You mentioned the cause: you went to sleep early. Sleep from the beginning of the night so that you get your share of sleep. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked talking after the 'Isha' prayer; he disliked talking after the 'Isha' prayer so that he would sleep until he got up for the tahajjud and the Fajr prayer. He must sleep from the beginning of the night to get his share and rest of sleep, and then get up. This is the solution. Yes.
