The questioner : The questioner also says in this question regarding heating water: if a person is lazy or wakes up late from his sleep in the wilderness and fears missing the time, what should he do? Should he heat the water or perform tayammum?
The Shaykh : No, it is obligatory for him to heat the water, even if he fears that the time will pass. This is because for a sleeping person, the time of prayer begins for him when he wakes up, not when the time enters.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Thus, the time is determined by the moment of remembrance in the case of forgetfulness, and likewise by the moment of waking up in the case of sleep.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : So we say: if you wake up, for example, about five or ten minutes before the sun rises, and if you perform tayammum you will catch the prayer within the time, but if you perform ghusl the time will have passed, we say: perform ghusl, even if the time passes. This is because the time of prayer for you began when you woke up from sleep, not from the dawn, because you are excused by it.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Thank you, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : No, it is obligatory for him to heat the water, even if he fears that the time will pass. This is because for a sleeping person, the time of prayer begins for him when he wakes up, not when the time enters.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Whoever sleeps through a prayer or forgets it, let him pray it when he remembers it.
من نام عن صلاة أو نسيها فليصلها إذا ذكرهاThe questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : So we say: if you wake up, for example, about five or ten minutes before the sun rises, and if you perform tayammum you will catch the prayer within the time, but if you perform ghusl the time will have passed, we say: perform ghusl, even if the time passes. This is because the time of prayer for you began when you woke up from sleep, not from the dawn, because you are excused by it.
