What is the ruling on praying before its time and after it?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : If a person prays the prayer before its time by the amount of the opening takbir, meaning he says the takbir for the prayer before the time enters, and then the time enters immediately after the opening takbir, is the prayer valid?
It is not valid, because he began it before the time.
Now, if someone delays the prayer from its time without a valid legal excuse, is it valid?
No.
If a man intentionally does not pray Fajr until after the sun has risen, and he prays Fajr, then the prayer is not accepted from him.
Now, what does he do? Does he leave it now?
Yes, he leaves it and does not pray, because if he prays, it will not benefit him.
But he should repent to Allah, Mighty and Majestic, with a sincere and true repentance, and repentance wipes out what came before it.
And this, my brothers, is my statement: if one delays the prayer from its time without an excuse, it is not accepted from him, and it is not prescribed for him to make it up, because there is no benefit for him in making it up.
This is based on a principle founded on evidence.
I hope you will pay attention, my group, because this is a matter you may find surprising.
Delaying the prayer from its time without an excuse is forbidden, and even if he prays it, it is not accepted.
Therefore, he does not make it up, because there is no benefit in an act that is not accepted.
It is not valid, because he began it before the time.
Now, if someone delays the prayer from its time without a valid legal excuse, is it valid?
