The ruling on one who sleeps past the 'Asr prayer until the sun sets
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner says: I am a student, and I had an exam, so I stayed up all night. After I took the exam, I returned home the next day at one in the afternoon. I was exhausted, so I slept, and I did not wake up until the time of the Maghrib prayer, even though my family tried to wake me, but I did not realize they were there. Please give us a ruling: Is there a sin on me? I am afraid. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : We say that if this student has fulfilled the obligatory duty, then there is no sin on him. What I understand now is that he prayed the Zuhr prayer, and he slept and was unable to get up for the 'Asr prayer until the sun set. There is no sin on him, for Allah the Exalted says:[Al-Baqarah 2:286]

Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity
لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا
