Question:
Khalid from Abha, please go ahead, Khalid. Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy. And upon you peace. And peace. Two questions. Please, please, 'Abd al-Qalq. Yes. The first question is about the ruling on anyone who sets his watch alarm to wake up for work but does not pray Fajr in its time. Okay, the Shaykh will answer in a moment.
Answer:
We ask Allah for well-being. This is one who is unjust to himself and neglects the prayer. He falls under the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Ma'un 107:4-5] They delay it from its time. And under His saying: [Maryam 19:59]. And that is the one who delays the prayer from its time without a valid religious excuse, and persists in doing so, threatened with this warning, woe and ruin, we ask Allah for well-being. Yes.

Answer:
We ask Allah for well-being. This is one who is unjust to himself and neglects the prayer. He falls under the saying of Allah the Exalted:
(4) So woe to those who pray (5) [But] who are heedless of their prayer -
فَوَيْلٌ لِّلْمُصَلِّينَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَن صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَBut there came after them successors who neglected prayer and pursued desires
فَخَلَفَ مِن بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ أَضَاعُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَاتَّبَعُوا الشَّهَوَاتِ
