The phone is ringing.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and Allah's mercy and blessings, and His forgiveness.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good and blessings.
The questioner : How is your health?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner : May Allah greet you.
The Shaykh : May Allah keep you alive.
The questioner : Do you know who is speaking to you?
The Shaykh : No, by Allah, I do not know the unseen.
The questioner : I am 'Abdullah Yagmur.
The Shaykh : Yagmur, may Allah shower you with blessings and good.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : How are you?
The questioner : By Allah, I am well. I wish you safety. How is your health?
The Shaykh : And how is Abu 'Abdullah's beard?
The questioner : Praise be to Allah, what Allah willed, it is good.
The Shaykh : May Allah bless him in it.
The questioner : But he is irritable, so make du'a for him.
The Shaykh : We ask Allah to rectify our morals, all of us.
The questioner : Amen, O Lord.
The Shaykh : What do you have?
The questioner : I am asking about a man who got up for the Fajr prayer, then went back to sleep. He went back to sleep after he had slept. He woke up. Does he pray or not?
The Shaykh : You mean he slept after hearing the Fajr adhan, before praying Fajr?
The questioner : His brother woke him up.
The Shaykh : I do not care if his brother or his sister woke him up. What does that have to do with this? I am asking you now: does it mean he slept after waking up for the Fajr adhan and before praying the Fajr prayer?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Okay, and when did he wake up?
The questioner : He woke up and the sun had already risen.
The Shaykh : He missed the prayer, and it is not possible to make it up as they say. It is not permissible. He must repent to Allah for what he did.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good. So, he does not pray, meaning?
The Shaykh : He does not pray, because he is among those who neglected the prayer at its time. However, if he did not wake up for the Fajr adhan, but rather woke up for the rising of the sun, then we tell him as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: As for your question, that he woke up for the Fajr adhan and then slept, in that case it is not permissible, because he caught the time and did not pray within the time, so he neglected the prayer [Al-Ma'un 107:4-5].
The questioner : May Allah reward us with good.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
The questioner : And may Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : And may He bless you.
The questioner : The brother Khalid sends his greetings.
The Shaykh : Peace and Allah's mercy and blessings be upon him and upon you. He was with us yesterday.
The questioner : Yes, he was with you yesterday.
The Shaykh : Send him greetings as well.
The questioner : May Allah keep you safe and may Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
The questioner : Do you command us with anything, O our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : May you be safe.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and Allah's mercy and blessings, and His forgiveness.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good and blessings.
The questioner : How is your health?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner : May Allah greet you.
The Shaykh : May Allah keep you alive.
The questioner : Do you know who is speaking to you?

Whoever forgets a prayer or sleeps through it, let him pray it when he remembers it. There is no expiation for it except that.
من نسي صلاة أو نام عنها فليصلها حين يذكرها لا كفارة لها إلا ذلك(4) So woe to those who pray (5) [But] who are heedless of their prayer -
فويل للمصلين * الذين هم عن صلاتهم ساهونThe questioner : May Allah reward us with good.
