Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: There is an exhortation to arrive early for the Friday prayer. If a Muslim arrives early for the Friday prayer and then sleeps in the mosque, does the virtue of his early arrival disappear?
Answer:
Allah knows best. If he intentionally slept, he has lost the virtue of arriving early. But if he was overcome by sleep or drowsiness or something like that, he remains with his intention. Yes.
