The ruling on the saying, "The Fajr prayer is an orphan that complains to Allah"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some preachers express it by saying: The Fajr prayer, this orphaned obligation, complains to Allah about the fewness of its worshippers?
Answer:
This is a statement with no basis. It is obligatory to say that many people are heavy in rising for this obligation and are preoccupied with sleep. So it is obligatory to fear Allah and to beware of imitating the people of hypocrisy, and similar good words.
As for his saying (it complains to Allah), it is feared that this is lying about Allah. Who told you this statement?
Q: It is censured in him... May Allah be pleased with you?
The Shaykh: It is better to leave the phrase out.
