The ruling on one who does not pray Fajr until after the sun has risen
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Due to the nature and difficulty of my work, I do not wake up from sleep until after the sun has risen, so I pray the morning prayer with only two rak'ahs. Please advise us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
This is a great abomination. It is obligatory for you to pray within its time. It is obligatory for you to sleep early so that you can rise at the time of the Fajr prayer, or buy a clock and set it for near the time of Fajr so that it helps you to rise. It is not permissible for you to be lax until you pray after the sun has risen. This is a great abomination, and doing it intentionally is disbelief according to the most correct of the scholars' opinions, because intentionally doing this is abandoning the prayer in its time. So it is obligatory to be cautious. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said: [Maryam:59]. A group of the Salaf said: "They neglected the prayer," meaning: they delayed it from its time. So it is obligatory to be cautious, and that is by one of two things:
Either you get up early so that you wake up for Fajr, or you get a clock to help you, or ... someone to wake you up. It is not permissible for you to be lax in this ever, rather it is obligatory that you pay attention to this so that you pray the prayer in its time. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.

But there came after them successors who neglected prayer and pursued desires; so they are going to meet evil -
فَخَلَفَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ أَضَاعُوا الصَّلاةَ وَاتَّبَعُوا الشَّهَوَاتِ فَسَوْفَ يَلْقَوْنَ غَيًّاEither you get up early so that you wake up for Fajr, or you get a clock to help you, or ... someone to wake you up.
