The Ruling on Delaying the Fajr Prayer Until the End of Its Time
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner, Muhammad, who resides in Saudi Arabia and works for one of the companies, asks: What is the ruling on delaying the Fajr prayer until the end of its time, then waking up to pray it, and then going directly to work?
The Shaykh:
This is not permissible for you. It is not permissible to delay the prayer from the beginning of its time. Rather, you should hasten and pray with the Muslims in the mosque, and you should leave behind your laziness and the discouragement of Shaytan for you, for Shaytan says to you, "Sleep, for you have a long night ahead." Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you. Your Excellency the Shaykh, Salih ibn Fawzan al-Fawzan, member of the Council of Senior Scholars, member of the Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta, thank you for sharing this meeting with us. May Allah reward you, Your Excellency the Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you and bless you.
