The questioner : Are the two rak'ahs of Fajr like Fajr itself, like the prayer, or not?
The Shaykh : Yes, like the prayer, it is necessary, until Fajr becomes clear.
The questioner : Until Fajr becomes clear.
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : Some people, when they enter the mosque, pray two rak'ahs, sit down, and that is it?
The Shaykh : Until the prayer is established?
The questioner : Until the prayer is established.
The Shaykh : No, that is a mistake. The Fajr Sunnah is not performed except after the appearance of Fajr. The first Sunnah of Dhuhr is also not performed except after the adhan of Dhuhr.
