The ruling on one who sleeps through the Fajr prayer until the sun rises
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One day, sleep overtook me regarding the Fajr prayer, and I did not wake up until after the sun had risen. I was confused about whether I should pray the voluntary prayer first—the Sunnah of Fajr—then the obligatory prayer, or whether I should start with the obligatory prayer. How should the situation be handled if this happens again? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The Sunnah is to begin with the Sunnah of Fajr, the two rak'ahs. You pray two light rak'ahs, the Sunnah of Fajr, then you pray the obligatory prayer. This is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did when they slept through the prayer during one of his journeys. He and his Companions slept through the prayer during one of his journeys, and they did not wake up until the sun had risen. When they woke up, he ordered the adhan to be called, so Bilal called the adhan. They performed wudu', and he prayed the regular voluntary prayer (Sunnah), then he ordered the iqamah, and they prayed the obligatory prayer. This is what is prescribed. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
