Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am a person who is careful to perform my prayers, so he describes himself, but when it comes to the Fajr prayer, I set the clock to wake me up from sleep. However, without any awareness, I wake up, turn off the clock, and go back to sleep. I know that I am sinful for doing this, but what can I do? Please guide us, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
In addition to having the clock, you should ask someone around you, from your family or your wife, to wake you up. Also, you should keep the clock out of reach so that you place it in a location far from you where your hand cannot reach it without you being aware. If it is far away, you will not reach for it while you are sleeping. Keep it away from you and place it in a place where your hand cannot reach it. Yes.
