Missing the Fajr Prayer Despite Setting an Alarm and Claiming Sleep as an Excuse
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is your opinion regarding the one who misses the Fajr prayer with the congregation, knowing that he sets his alarm every night for the Fajr prayer, but it is of no use? And is he considered among those for whom the obligation is dropped due to a valid religious excuse, namely the sleeper, knowing that he claims every night that he will pray Fajr with the congregation?
Answer:
He can stay up late, and the one who stays up late cannot get up even if he has an alarm. So he has to sleep early in order to get his share of sleep and wake up in the last part of the night. This is the cure. He should not stay up late with those who stay up until the end of the night. He has no excuse. If he continues with this, he has no excuse. The excuse is only for sudden sleep, as for continuous sleep, this is not an excuse. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah keep you safe
