The questioner : My master, and what about the one who remains asleep after the sun has risen...
The Shaykh : This is the one who is unable to pray, because it is obligatory for him to wake up for the time[An-Nisa 4:103] If he intentionally causes the prayer to be missed from its time, whether it is the Fajr prayer, the 'Asr prayer, or any other, then he cannot pray it outside of its time. Our previous discussion was regarding the one who forgets and the sleeper who does not wake up. But if we assume a man is sleeping and hears the Fajr adhan, and says, "It is still early, there is still time," and he continues sleeping until after the sun has risen, and he misses the prayer, he can never make it up.
The questioner : That is to say, if he is negligent and makes it a habit to pray after the sun has risen, it is not permissible for him to pray it at all. Its ruling is the ruling of the one who intentionally abandons the prayer.
The Shaykh : I will tell you something so that the matter is understood well. If this man uses waking aids, such as an alarm clock, but because his sleep is heavy, and perhaps his work is also heavy for him, despite using these waking aids, he does not wake up, then he is excused. But if he does not use anything, and as I described earlier, he hears the adhan and is aware of the sound of the adhan, then he says, "There is still time, there is still time," and he goes back to sleep until after the sun has risen, then he is like one who abandons the prayer. As for the one who is excused, we have established that he has a specific ruling.

Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a decree of specified times.
