The ruling on one who sleeps through the prayer until its time has passed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The question: You ask and say: If a person misses the time of the Fajr prayer and wakes up, for example, at ten in the morning, is it permissible for him to pray it at that time, or should he pray it the next day at its proper time as a make-up prayer? This is if the person is healthy. But if the person is sick and cannot wake up at its time, what should he do and at what time should he pray the Fajr prayer?
The answer: If a person sleeps through the prayer, it is obligatory for him to pray it when he wakes up. Likewise, if he forgets it, it is obligatory for him to pray it when he remembers it, based on the saying of the noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): It is not permissible to delay it until its time on the other day. No, rather, it is obligatory for him to pray it immediately when he wakes up, whether in the Duha time, the Dhuhr time, or the Asr time. There is no time of prohibition for it. As soon as he wakes up, or remembers if he was forgetful, he should hasten and pray. This is what is obligatory. The Muslim man and woman should seek the means to wake up at the time. Among these means is for each of them to go to sleep early in the beginning of the night so that they do not become heavy in the end of the night. Among these means is to set an alarm clock and set it for the appropriate time when the time enters, and a little before Fajr, so that he wakes up and is able to perform wudu and ghusl if ghusl is required of him, such as if he has a wife.
The point is: It is upon him to do the causes. It is obligatory for the believing man and woman to do the causes. If the sleep is due to staying up late, it is obligatory for him not to stay up late. And if the sleep is because he does not have a clock, he should get a clock so that... it is set for the appropriate time; because it is beneficial and useful.
And it is established from him (peace and blessings be upon him) So they led their mounts away from him a little and prayed immediately. Then the Sunnah is to pray it with adhan and iqamah. The man and woman pray it likewise without adhan or iqamah, but with the regular voluntary prayer (rawatib). He prays two rak'ahs of the regular voluntary prayer, and the woman likewise prays the rawatib and then prays the obligatory prayer.
And if a man or a group of men call the adhan and iqamah, even if it is in the Duha time, they call the adhan and iqamah and pray as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. It is recited in its form as it is prayed in its time, and it is not delayed until its time in the other day, like its time in the other day. No, rather, it is obligatory to hasten to do it from the moment he wakes up or remembers. Yes.

Whoever sleeps through the prayer or forgets it, let him pray it when he remembers it. There is no expiation for it except that.
من نام عن الصلاة أو نسيها فليصلها إذا ذكرها لا كفارة لها إلا ذلكThe point is: It is upon him to do the causes. It is obligatory for the believing man and woman to do the causes.

That in one of his journeys, he stopped during the night and they slept, and they did not wake up until after the sun had risen. So he prayed immediately. He ordered for wudu and prayer, and they prayed immediately after they led their mounts away from their place a little. And he said: It is a place where Satan was present.
أنه في بعض أسفاره نزل في أثناء الليل وناموا فلم يستيقظوا إلا بعد طلوع الشمس فصلى في الحال، أمر بالوضوء والصلاة وصلوا في الحال بعدما قادوا رواحلهم عن مكانهم قليلاً وقال: إنه موضع حضر فيه الشيطانAnd if a man or a group of men call the adhan and iqamah, even if it is in the Duha time, they call the adhan and iqamah and pray as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. It is recited in its form as it is prayed in its time, and it is not delayed until its time in the other day, like its time in the other day.
