What is the ruling regarding someone who prayed Fajr and does not know whether they prayed before or after sunrise?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The Fajr prayer is valid for whoever prays it with the intention of Fajr, even if they do not intend performance (adaa’) or make-up (qadaa’), and this is the most preponderant opinion. The worshipper is not required to intend performance or make-up, and their prayer is valid if they were unaware of the time having elapsed.
