Delaying the Fajr Prayer until the sun rises


442

Q 5: Is it permissible to delay Fajr (Dawn) Prayer until sunrise? What is the ruling on whoever delays it? Is it permissible to offer Nafilah (supererogatory) prayers after sunrise until Zawal (midday)?


A: It is not permissible to delay Fajr Prayer or any other prayer until after its prescribed time. (Part No. 5; Page No. 112) Allah (Exalted be He) says, Verily, As-Salât (the prayer) is enjoined on the believers at fixed hours. It is permissible to offer Nafilah in the time between sunrise and Zawal especially Salat-ul-Duha (supererogatory Prayer after sunrise).May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
