Ruling on sleeping without praying


591

Q 6: Whoever sleeps and misses the `Isha' (Night) Prayer until the break of dawn, how can he make up for it?


(Part No. 5; Page No. 9)  A: It is related by Al-Bukhari and Muslim that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Whoever misses Salah due to sleeping or forgetfulness, he should offer it when he remembers it. Hence, whoever misses an obligatory Salah due to sleeping, then he should offer it when he wakes up. However, it is impermissible for the said person to take this matter as a habit whereby he misses many prayers; otherwise, he would be sinful.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
