Is it true that whoever sleeps after the Fajr prayer is deprived of sustenance?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : A questioner says: It is well known among the common people that whoever sleeps after the Fajr prayer before the sun rises is deprived of sustenance. They cite as evidence for this that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Does this have any basis?
The Shaykh : This has no basis, because the beginning of the day is undoubtedly its goodness and its blessing, and this is something observed. However, the idea that a person is deprived of sustenance is not correct, except for sustenance that occurs at the beginning of the day, in which case if he sleeps through it, he is naturally deprived of it. But to say that whoever sleeps after the Fajr prayer is deprived of sustenance, this is not correct.
