The ruling on praying the obligatory prayer at home: Does exhaustion and drowsiness permit missing the congregational prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Another person says: I work in the foot patrols, meaning I walk on foot, and sometimes I come to the Fajr prayer while dozing off, meaning I fall asleep in the mosque. I used to pray at the beginning of the time at home.

Answer:
You must seek help from Allah and pray with the congregation, then sleep after the first ten [of the night]. You must fulfill the obligation that is upon you, then conclude with a righteous deed, which is praying with the congregation. Strive to avoid drowsiness as much as you can, and begin with the good, and let the sleep come after that.
