What is the correct action to take regarding severe insomnia and continuous sleeplessness until Fajr prayer?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Sleeping before the time for prayer enters is not sinful, even if it leads to missing the prayer. However, one should take measures to wake up, and it has been said that doing so is obligatory. Deliberately failing to take measures that lead to missing the prayer is undesirable, and it is feared that it may be sinful.
