Q:
I often wake up after the time of the Fajr (Dawn) Prayer.
When I realize that I have missed the congregational Salah (Prayer), I return to sleep and I offer it with the Zhuhr (Noon) Prayer. What is the ruling on this? When I offer the Fajr Prayer, should I recite audibly in the first two Rak'ahs (units of Prayer) (i.e. the Sunnah of Fajr)? When I make up for the Fajr Prayer, should I offer these two Rak'ahs?
A:
You should offer the Fajr Prayer in congregation at the Masjid (mosque) at its due time, as it is Haram (prohibited) to delay it. You should take all measures to wake up at the time of Salah. It is desirable to recite audibly while making up for the Salah. It is also Sunnah (action following the teachings of the Prophet) to make up for the two Rak'ahs before the Fajr Prayer. (Part No. 6; Page No. 155) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
