Performing the Sunnah of Fajr immediately after the Fajr prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Now, Honorable Shaykh, this person is asking about performing, meaning the Sunnah of Fajr, immediately after the Fajr prayer. I see some of the brothers, when the imam says the taslim and they recite their dhikr, they begin performing two rak'ahs. When we ask them, they say this is the Sunnah of Fajr. Is it prescribed for them to do that, or should they wait until the sun rises?
Answer:
As for the one who is unable to perform the regular voluntary prayer before the Fajr prayer, he makes it up. It is better for him to delay it until the sun has risen by the length of a spear after it appears. If he fears that he will forget it or become preoccupied with it, and he prays it immediately after Fajr, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
