Does one who sleeps through the Fajr prayer and prays it after the time has passed become a disbeliever?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Please, Abu al-Abd.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, may Allah bless you. Nowadays, many young people, many people... they sleep through the Fajr prayer, and then whenever they get up, they pray it at nine, seven, or eight, whenever they get up they pray it. Does this make them disbelievers, or not?
The Shaykh : As for disbelief, we are far from disbelief and declaring people disbelievers. But this is as he (peace be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 797Sahih (Darussalam). However, we do not declare them disbelievers; rather, we advise people, teach them, and point them to such a hadith. Whoever has an interest in the rulings of the Shari'ah, when he hears this hadith, says, "I seek refuge in Allah from being among the hypocrites." So he will strive to pray the 'Isha' prayer with the congregation and the Fajr prayer with the congregation, unless he is excused by illness or something similar from the legitimate excuses. As for laziness, that is the hallmark of the hypocrites, as the Exalted said in the Noble Qur'an: "And when they stand up for prayer, they stand up lazily."

The Shaykh. The point is that it is the nature of the hypocrites that they stand up for prayer lazily. But leave the matter of declaring disbelief aside. Please, Professor, you must have forgotten your question.
The questioner: No.
The Shaykh: Come on.

The Shaykh : As for disbelief, we are far from disbelief and declaring people disbelievers. But this is as he (peace be upon him) said:
The most burdensome prayers for the hypocrites are the 'Isha' prayer and the Fajr prayer
أثقل الصلاة على المنافقين صلاة العشاء وصلاة الفجرThe student :
they stand up lazily
قَامُوا كُسَالَىthey stand up lazily
قَامُوا كُسَالَىThe Shaykh :
they stand up lazily
قَامُوا كُسَالَىAnd when they stand for prayer, they stand lazily
وَإِذَا قَامُوا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ قَامُوا كُسَالَىThe student :
and not remembering Allah except a little,
وَلَا يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًاThe Shaykh
Except for a short time
إِلَّا قَلِيلًاThe questioner: No.
The Shaykh: Come on.
