The Ruling on Delaying the Fajr Prayer on the Night of Consummation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, is the groom and bride excused for delaying the Fajr prayer until the sun rises on the night of consummation because they were unable to perform the full ritual bath and shower?
Answer:
This is not permissible. Praise be to Allah, the means for performing the full ritual bath and the ablution for prayer are now available through the availability of water. If they have water, they should use it; if they do not find water, they should perform dry ablution with clean earth. They should pray the prayer in its time, either with water if possible, or with dry ablution. They should not leave it and delay the prayer until after its time. Yes.
