What is the ruling on delaying the Fajr prayer until after the sun has risen
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace.
The presenter : How are you?
The Shaykh : Okay, I am in.
The presenter : Ha, how are you? He says.
The Shaykh : May Allah keep you safe.
The questioner : What is the ruling on delaying the Fajr prayer until the sun rises.
The Shaykh : Delaying the Fajr prayer until the sun rises is forbidden. It is obligatory for a person to wake up when the mu'adhdhin calls for the Fajr prayer and to pray with the congregation. And whoever delays the prayer until its time has passed without an excuse has no prayer.
Even if he prays it four times, Allah the Exalted will not accept it, because Allah the Exalted says:[An-Nisa 4:103] meaning at a specific time, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 1718b meaning it is rejected from him. So it is obligatory to be cautious of laziness in prayer, and for a person to rise to it with energy and joy, as came in the hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: meaning that the prayer is a rest for him (peace and blessings be upon him).
The presenter : May Allah send prayers and peace upon him. And he did not say, "Relieve us from the prayer." And those who rise to the prayer while lazy are similar to the hypocrites. About whom Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nisa 4:142], always, O Abu Najm. Yes, I heard. May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
The presenter : How are you?
The Shaykh : Okay, I am in.
The presenter : Ha, how are you? He says.
The Shaykh : May Allah keep you safe.

Even if he prays it four times, Allah the Exalted will not accept it, because Allah the Exalted says:
Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a decree of specified times.
إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ كَانَتْ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كِتَابًا مَّوْقُوتًاHe who did any act for which there is no sanction from our behalf, that is to be rejected.
من عمل عملا ليس عليه أمرنا فهو ردO Bilal, relieve us with the prayer.
يا بلال أرحنا بالصلاة.The presenter : May Allah send prayers and peace upon him. And he did not say, "Relieve us from the prayer." And those who rise to the prayer while lazy are similar to the hypocrites. About whom Allah the Exalted said:
Indeed, the hypocrites [think to] deceive Allah, but He is deceiving them. And when they stand for prayer, they stand lazily, showing [themselves to] the people and not remembering Allah except a little,
إِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ يُخَادِعُونَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ خَادِعُهُمْ وَإِذَا قَامُوا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ قَامُوا كُسَالَىٰ يُرَاءُونَ النَّاسَ وَلَا يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا
