The Criterion for Lengthening the Fajr Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The brother Abdullah says that I lengthen the Fajr prayer more than what is expected. What is the criterion for lengthening the Fajr prayer? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
If you are the imam, do not lengthen it to the point of causing hardship for the ma'mum (those praying behind you). Lengthen it relatively, in a way that does not cause hardship for the ma'mum. But if you are praying alone, you may lengthen it as much as you wish. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you,
