The questioner : Also, he says the morning prayer, meaning by the morning prayer the regular voluntary prayer of Fajr.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : He asks whether the morning prayer is obligatory, and whether he has committed a sin if he leaves it, and whether it is permissible if he prays it after the Fajr prayer?
The Shaykh : The Sunnah of Fajr is not obligatory, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked by the Bedouin when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned to him the five prayers. He said, "Is there anything else required of me?" He said, "No, except if you offer voluntary prayers." So nothing is obligatory upon him besides these five prayers.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Among the daily prayers that have no specific cause. And so, the Sunnah of Fajr is not obligatory. If a person leaves it, he does not commit a sin, but it is a confirmed Sunnah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not leave it, whether resident or traveling, and he used to say in it:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 416Sahih (Darussalam).
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And if he misses it before the prayer, he makes it up after the prayer. And if he delays it until the sun rises and prays it in the Duha time, that is good.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : You have done well, may Allah reward you. O gentlemen, we have reached the end here.
The Shaykh : Yes.

The two Rak'ah of Fajr are better than the world and what is in it.
