Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner says: If I sit until the sun rises and do not pray the regular voluntary prayer of Fajr, does the sunrising prayer suffice for the regular voluntary prayer of Fajr?
The Shaykh : If a person sits in the mosque until the sun rises, we say until the sun rises, not until the sunrise. We say until the sunrise, not until the sun rises?
The questioner : The sunrise.
The Shaykh : The sunrise. The sunrise is the rising of the sun, and the sun rising is the spreading of the sun. So, until the sunrise, not until the sun rising.
The questioner : The sunrise.
The Shaykh : Until the sunrise, because prayer is not permissible at the time of sunrise. The sun must rise to the height of a spear. In any case, if you pray the sunrising prayer, it does not suffice for the regular voluntary prayer of Fajr. And if you pray the regular voluntary prayer of Fajr, we can say that it suffices for the sunrising prayer, because the intended purpose has been achieved: the person has prayed two rak'ahs. We can also say that it does not suffice, because the intended purpose is for the person to pray two specific rak'ahs for the sunrise. This is the more cautious approach. Accordingly, pray the regular voluntary prayer of Fajr, then pray the sunrising prayer. Yes.
