Question:
The second scenario. If the time for Fajr becomes tight, meaning a person wakes up late from sleep and the time is short, is it sufficient if he bows? Should he start with the confirmed rawatib (regular voluntary prayers) or the obligatory prayer? Now, the second question: if the time for Fajr becomes tight regarding the obligatory prayer and he has not prayed the Sunnah.
Answer:
If he would miss the congregational prayer, he prays with the congregation and delays the rawatib until after Fajr or until after the sun has risen, and he does not leave the congregation in order to pray the rawatib. However, if he is going to pray alone without a congregation, and there is no congregation near him that he wants to join, he performs the rawatib first and then prays the Fajr prayer.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when his companions slept through the Fajr prayer on some of his journeys and did not wake up until the heat of the sun, when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) wanted to pray with his companions, he performed the rawatib first and then prayed Fajr. So if he is not tied to a congregation, he performs the rawatib first and then prays Fajr, yes.
