I wake up for the Fajr prayer, but I do not wake my family until after I return from the mosque?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I wake up for the Fajr prayer, and praise be to Allah, but I do not wake my family until after I return from the mosque. What is the ruling on my action? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Your action is permissible if you wake them at a time that allows them to perform ritual purity and pray before the sun rises. However, it is better for you to wake them from the time of the adhan so that they perform the prayer early, because the prayer at the beginning of its time is better, meaning the Fajr prayer.
Yes, if you are burdened with hardship in waking them such that you fear missing the congregational prayer, then in that case, go and pray with the congregation, then return to them. But what you should do is take care of yourself and wake them, even before the adhan, so that they perform the prayer at the beginning of its time.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
