What is the ruling on delaying Fajr prayer until morning due to not waking up, and is it obligatory to make it up, and how can one overcome this problem?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
"Missing the Fajr prayer due to sleep might be a result of negligence or naturally heavy sleep. The prevalent reason is the former, due to staying up late and not caring to set an alarm. This can be overcome by sleeping early, using an alarm, cooperating with family, asking Allah for success, maintaining wudu and remembrance before sleep, and purifying the house from anything that prevents angels from entering."
