The Ruling on One Who Delays the Fajr Prayer Beyond Its Time and the Position of His Wife

Question:
He says: Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. What is the ruling on one who prays the congregational prayer for all the obligatory prayers except the Fajr prayer, which he makes up at home when he wakes up from sleep in the late morning? Does his wife sin, even though she is struggling with him regarding this issue? And is there anything required of her in remaining with him?

Answer:
It is not permissible for any Muslim to delay the prayer beyond its time, whether it is Fajr or any other. He must pray all five prayers in the mosque. Delaying the Fajr prayer is among the characteristics of the hypocrites, we seek refuge in Allah, and so is delaying the Isha prayer.
It is obligatory for all Muslims, men and women, to pray within their times: Fajr in its time before the sun rises, Zuhr in its time before the time of Asr begins, Asr in its time before the sun turns yellow, Maghrib in its time before the sun sets, and Isha in its time before the middle of the night. It is obligatory for everyone, men and women, and it is not permissible to delay the prayer beyond its time. It is not permissible to sleep and set the alarm clock to wake up for work; this is a great evil, indeed it is disbelief, we seek refuge in Allah. Deliberately doing this is disbelief; deliberately delaying the prayer beyond its time is disbelief. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: and shirk (associating partners with Allah) is disbelief regarding the prayer. And he said (peace and blessings be upon him): one of It is obligatory for his wife to wake him, urge him, and advise him until he prays with the congregation in its time, Fajr and the others. If he does not pray, it is not permissible for her to remain with him; she should go to her family because he is a disbeliever by abandoning the prayer, so she has no right to stay with him. She must go out to her family, and her family must demand his separation and give their daughter the divorce paper. It is obligatory for anyone who knows of this to report the matter to the Commission, or to the court, or to the authority, so that the command of Allah is established against him. One who does not pray is killed; he is given the chance to repent, and if he repents, well and good, otherwise he is killed. It is obligatory for the believer to pray in its time: Fajr in its time before the sun, and Asr, Zuhr, Isha, and Maghrib, all in their times. It is obligatory to maintain this, for this is the pillar of Islam. Whoever preserves it preserves his religion, and whoever neglects it is more neglected than what is similar to it. We ask Allah for safety.
