Sleeping before prayer while knowing the time will be missed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a person sleeps before prayer, knowing that he will not wake up until after the time has passed, will his prayer be accepted if he makes it up after waking?
Answer:
If he is overcome by heavy sleep and is unable to go to the mosque, he should pray before he sleeps once the time has entered. He should pray before sleeping because he is excused in this case, as sleep is generally overwhelming, and even if he went to the mosque, he would not be able to manage it. This is not a permanent condition but rather a temporary occurrence. He prays before sleeping, he prays before he sleeps, and he does not abandon the prayer. He says: If you continue, pray it. No, yes, as long as the time has entered, he prays, yes.
