about the time for one who wakes up from sleep if he slept through the prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We decided the opposite of that.
The Shaykh : No, we did not decide the opposite of that; rather, we decided in agreement with that. How is that? Because the time for the prayer of the sleeper is from the moment he wakes up. And if its time is from the moment he wakes up, there is no time that is too narrow to perform the act of worship, so the time is sufficient to perform the act of worship with all its conditions and complements; it is not in any case open-ended.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : No, we do not say it is open-ended. We may say it is obligatory immediately. Wait, Salim, it is obligatory immediately to make up the missed prayers; it is not permissible to delay them. Is this not established for you?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : This is it; there is no problem if you know that the time for the prayer for the sleeper is his waking up, so it becomes as if he missed the adhan of Fajr. Yes.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : If, if.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, yes.
The questioner : So one of them performed wudu, then...
The Shaykh : Meaning, he got up before his congregation, before his congregation he got up, performed wudu, and prayed before the dawn appeared, before the sun rose. All right.
The questioner : Then he prayed.
The Shaykh : Then he woke up his companions.
The questioner : He woke up his companions...
The Shaykh : The important thing is that this man woke up and it was possible for him to perform wudu and pray before the sun rose.
The questioner : No, after the sun rose.
The Shaykh : He did not pray except after the sun rose. Why?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : All right, when did they get up to pray? But this issue that he asked about, and I understood it...
The Shaykh : No, we did not decide the opposite of that; rather, we decided in agreement with that. How is that? Because the time for the prayer of the sleeper is from the moment he wakes up. And if its time is from the moment he wakes up, there is no time that is too narrow to perform the act of worship, so the time is sufficient to perform the act of worship with all its conditions and complements; it is not in any case open-ended.
