Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A young man swore before the Fajr prayer that he would not sleep, then he began reciting the Qur'an, then he lay down and fell asleep, and he missed the Fajr prayer. What is required of him?
Answer:
If he did not intend to sleep, he owes no expiation. However, his lying down and being careless is a sign of negligence regarding falling asleep. One who swears should be cautious and wary, otherwise he owes the expiation for an oath due to his negligence.
