The ruling on one who sleeps through the Fajr prayer and whether it is accepted if he prays it after the sun has risen
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes. Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : Peace and the mercy of Allah.
The questioner : Shaykh Muhammad, how are you, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : I am well, praise be to Allah.
The questioner : He leaves you with two questions I want to inquire about. All right. The first question: if a person sleeps through the Fajr prayer until the sun rises, does he still recite the adhkar when he prays it? If a person sleeps through the Fajr prayer, is it still normal for him to say the morning and evening adhkar?
The Shaykh : Yes. First, what caused him to sleep through the Fajr prayer until the sun rose? If this was their support.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : I say, what caused him to sleep through the Fajr prayer until the sun rose?
The questioner : By Allah, it is he.
The Shaykh : If this man does this regularly and does not care about the Fajr prayer, whether he prays it in its time or after the sun rises, then his prayer is not accepted, because he intentionally delayed the prayer from its time. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1718b which is rejected from him. If it was something sudden, such that he forgot to set the alarm or relied on a person to wake him and that person slept, then he is excused. And the Prophet said: and he recited the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He: "And establish prayer for My remembrance."
The questioner : All right, therefore it is obligatory that.
The Shaykh : the Muslim man should take precautions for himself in this matter, and have a strong alarm that wakes him for the Fajr prayer. And if he does not have family, he should instruct one of his companions to wake him for the Fajr prayer.
The Shaykh : Peace and the mercy of Allah.

He who did any act for which there is no sanction from our behalf, that is to be rejected.
من عمل عملا ليس عليه أمرنا فهو رد(peace and blessings be upon him) Whoever sleeps through a prayer or forgets it, let him pray it when he remembers it,
صلى الله عليه وسلم من نام عن صلاة أو نسيها فليصلها إذا ذكرها،The questioner : All right, therefore it is obligatory that.
The Shaykh : the Muslim man should take precautions for himself in this matter, and have a strong alarm that wakes him for the Fajr prayer. And if he does not have family, he should instruct one of his companions to wake him for the Fajr prayer.
