Question:
This person, may Allah protect you, is asking about one who delays the Fajr prayer until the sun rises. What is the ruling on his action?
Answer:
His action is invalid, and his prayer is not valid if he intentionally sleeps through the Fajr prayer. If he does that intentionally and delays it beyond its time, then it is not valid and will not be accepted from him. It is obligatory for him to repent to Allah and to pray the prayers at their appointed times, in congregation in the mosques. And he should know that the prayer is the pillar of Islam[Al-Mu'minun 23:9-11]. The prayers are of great significance.
