The ruling on one who delays the prayer beyond its time
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This questioner says: Shaykh, what about the one who stays up late and is unable to pray the Fajr prayer except after its time has passed? Will it be accepted from him? And what is the ruling on the other prayers that he prays within their times?
Answer:
The one who intentionally delays the prayer beyond its time, it is not accepted from him; because he has taken it out of its time, and he did not pray as Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, commanded him. It is obligatory for him to pray with the congregation in the mosque, Fajr and other than Fajr. But if sleep overcomes him at times without intention, then he prays as long as his excuse, such as sleep, remains. He prays when he wakes up, or if he forgot it, he prays when he remembers and his excuse is removed. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan ad-Darimi 2:45 There is no expiation for it except that.
As for intentionally doing this and saying, "I will pray it when I get up," the matter is not in your hand, and there is no good for you in it. This is the command of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He; you do not act in it according to your desire and wish, and your prayer is not accepted if you intentionally take it out of its time. Yes.
