The ruling on one who sleeps through the Fajr prayer until its time has passed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We are reviewing this message from Yemen. The sender is a listener residing in the Holy City of Madinah. He says: If a man sleeps through the Fajr prayer and does not wake up until nine in the morning, does he pray, or what does he do? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Yes, as soon as he wakes up, it is obligatory for him to hasten to pray. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Therefore, the sleeper must take precautions by alerting his household so that they wake him up, or by setting an alarm clock for the time so that he can rely on it. He must not be lax; it is not permissible for him to be lax. Rather, either there must be someone to wake him, or he must use a clock whose sound he hears when he sets it for a specific time, so that he can rely on it to perform what Allah has made obligatory upon him, namely prayer at its time, and in congregation. It is not permissible to be lax in this matter. However, if something of this happens, such as him sleeping, even if he has a clock, he may not have heard the clock, or his family may not have woken him because they were also asleep.
So, the obligatory thing when he wakes up is to hasten to pray. This occurred with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on several occasions during his travels. They delayed their descent and camped at the end of the night, and they slept until the heat of the sun woke them up. He had appointed someone to watch for the dawn, but the watcher, who was Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), also slept.
So, the result is that when he woke up, he hastened to pray. He ordered Bilal to give the call to prayer, and the people performed ablution and prayed the Sunnah of Fajr. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed with them. This is what is prescribed: to hasten to perform ablution and prayer as soon as one wakes up, just as if one had forgotten some prayers and then remembered them; he must also hasten to perform them, acting in accordance with the hadith: Then he recited the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Ta-Ha:14]. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.

Yes, as soon as he wakes up, it is obligatory for him to hasten to pray. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Whoever sleeps through a prayer or forgets it, let him pray it when he remembers it. There is no expiation for it other than that.
من نام عن الصلاة، أو نسيها؛ فليصلها إذا ذكرها، لا كفارة لها إلا ذلكSo, the obligatory thing when he wakes up is to hasten to pray.
