Is it permissible to pray the Sunnah of Fajr after Fajr?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you. Upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah. I am one who usually gets up after the adhan for Fajr, and sometimes I do not manage to pray the Sunnah of Fajr before the iqamah, so I pray it at home. Is there any harm in this?

The Shaykh : The Sunnah of Fajr is prayed before Fajr, as is well known. But if the prayer has been called for, do not pray it, due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
God’s Messenger as saying, “When the time for prayer comes, only the prescribed prayer is to be said.”صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا أقيمت الصلاة فلا صلاة إلا المكتوبة،
Mishkat al-Masabih 1058
And if you come to the mosque and the people are praying, enter with them in the prayer of Fajr, and then when the prayer of Fajr and the dhikr that follows it are finished, perform the Sunnah of Fajr

The questioner : In the home.

The Shaykh : Even before the sun rises.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
