The Ruling on Delaying the Prayer Beyond Its Time and Advice Regarding Negligence in It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the questions that reached us, one of the sisters says: What is required of a wife when she sees her husband being negligent in the prayer, and he says that he has prayed, while she is certain that he has not? Is she entitled to refuse him? And what is your advice, O Shaykh, to the one who is negligent in the prayer, especially the Fajr prayer?
Answer:
It is not permissible for a Muslim who fears Allah to delay the prayer beyond its time and beyond the congregation. Rather, he is required to pray the prayer in its time and with the congregation of the Muslims. This is obligatory upon him, and it is not permissible for him to be negligent in it. Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nisa 4:103] meaning that it is obligatory at specific times determined by the Lawgiver. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
