The ruling on one who is overcome by sleep and misses the Fajr prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And other things. Before he prepares to rise for the Fajr prayer. And other than that, and other than that, but he does not feel the prayer to remember it.

The Shaykh:
A man.

The questioner:
He prepares to rise for the Fajr prayer by reciting the monthly dhikr at the time of Fajr and other than that, and he misses what is the prayer of Fajr.

The Shaykh:
If he is overcome by sleep while he is determined to rise, and he is determined to rise but is overcome by sleep, he is excused. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The pen has been lifted from threeرفع القلم عن ثلاثة
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1423Hasan (Darussalam)
, mentioning among them the sleeper until he wakes up. As long as he is eager to rise, and he slept in order to rise and was determined to do so, but was overcome by sleep, he is excused. Praise be to Allah. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), yes, in some of the battles, and the heat of the sun did not wake them up, and they did not pray Fajr until they woke up in the late morning. This is an excuse. Allah the Exalted does not burden a soul beyond its capacity. The one who intentionally sleeps and does not determine to rise, and says, "Whenever I rise, I will pray while sleeping with the intention," and he is not motivated by Fajr, but rather when he rises he also prays, this is not permissible for him. This is forbidden for him.
