If a group is in the desert and they all wake up for the Fajr prayer, should the mu'adhdhin say, "Prayer is better than sleep"?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you, some people sleep in the desert, Shaykh, on an outing, meaning they go out to the desert for a picnic or something similar, and they stay overnight. When the time for the Fajr prayer comes, they are all awake. Do we say, meaning there is no need to say, "Prayer is better than sleep"?
The Shaykh : It is a recommended practice (sunnah) in any case, so it is said. It is said, because it may wake up someone who is not a human being.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : Yes.
