What is the ruling on performing the Fajr prayer after its time has passed, and what is the solution?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Okay, regarding the prayer, is it a problem if I delay the Fajr prayer? I mean, I wake up late from sleep.
The Shaykh : It is not a problem, it is not forbidden.
The questioner : Okay, what should I do, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : The action is that first, you should not stay up too late, and second, you should not stay up watching television. Instead, you should pray the 'Isha' prayer, put your head down, and sleep, and then see how you wake up for the Fajr prayer at the appropriate time. This is the solution.
The questioner: All right.
The Shaykh : As for staying up until midnight watching television, you, your wife, and your children.
The questioner : No, O Shaykh, I go to bed at eight thirty, praise be to Allah, that is the first thing.
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : I go to bed at eight thirty, right after the news, I mean.
The Shaykh : Okay, why don't you wake up for the Fajr prayer?
The questioner : By Allah, it is Satan.
The Shaykh : Yes, but Satan knows how to play with you.
The questioner : Since the 'Umrah, the day before yesterday.
The Shaykh : Okay, do you not have an alarm clock? Do you not have an alarm clock?
The questioner : By Allah, O Shaykh, I want to tell you the truth, I am sitting, but I am unable to get up.
The Shaykh : How old are you? Are you an old man like me?
The questioner : No, O uncle, I am not an old man, I am twenty-three years old.
The Shaykh : Yes, and you are also unable to get up, and tomorrow when you become as old as me, eighty, what will you do?
The questioner : May Allah prolong your life, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you. You must strengthen yourself and regain your youth, do you not?
The questioner : We need to gain the prayer, which is better than all the world.
The Shaykh : If Allah wills.
The questioner : But there is... I want to beat you, is that okay?
The Shaykh : No, but beat me a second time.
The questioner : I want to beat you, is that okay, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : A second time, a second time.
The questioner : May Allah prolong your life.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
