The questioner : The questioner, Dakhil ibn Saleh from Yanbu, asks: What is the ruling on delaying the Fajr prayer until the sun rises, always and sometimes intentionally?
The Shaykh : That is forbidden. In fact, some scholars say: whoever intentionally leaves an obligatory prayer until its time has passed is a disbeliever, may Allah protect us from that.
