The ruling on one who is overcome by sleep and misses the Fajr prayer in congregation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am a Muslim, praise be to Allah, and I am consistent with the prayers in the mosque. However, I often miss the Fajr prayer because sleep overcomes me and it is difficult for me to get up, despite having an alarm clock. I often think about this and fear hypocrisy in myself. Am I considered a hypocrite given this situation? And what do you advise me to do?
Answer:
It is obligatory for you to do your best so that you can perform the prayer in congregation. This includes setting an alarm clock, going to bed early, and asking a family member to wake you up in case you do not hear the alarm. Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) said: : [Al-Talaq: 4], and He the Exalted said: [Al-Taghabun: 16]. May Allah make your affairs easy and help you to fulfill what is obligatory upon you.

وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ يُسْرًاSo fear Allah as much as you are able
فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ
