The answer

The Dawn prayer (Salat al-Fajr) is an obligatory prayer (fard), and vowing to perform it further emphasizes its importance. A person's statement, "If Allah cures me, then I must do such-and-such," is considered a vow (nadhr). Breaking this vow necessitates an expiation (kaffarah) similar to the expiation for breaking an oath (kaffarat al-yameen). Therefore, the questioner must repent, perform the Fajr prayer on time and with the congregation (if a man), offer expiation for their vow, and seek means to wake up for Fajr, because failing to rise for the Fajr prayer without a valid excuse is considered an apparent sin. Such a person, who is stained by this sin, should not lead people in prayer.
