Is sleeping through the Fajr prayer while taking the necessary measures a sign of hypocrisy?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is sleeping through the Fajr prayer, and sleeping a lot while taking the necessary measures, a sign of hypocrisy? And how is it that the heaviest prayers for the hypocrites are the Fajr and 'Isha' prayers?
Answer:
The one who takes the necessary measures and intends to get up, but sleep overcomes him, is not one of the hypocrites. This is because he loves the prayer, he took the measures, and he intended to get up, but sleep overcame him. Perhaps there is a reason for this, such as staying up late at night. Or he should stop staying up late and abandon the things that make it difficult for him to get up for the Fajr prayer. But he is not a hypocrite. Rather, the one who deliberately sleeps and does not intend to get up for the Fajr prayer, that is the one in whom there is hypocrisy, or he is the hypocrite.
