1 Feb 2014

Question

Upto what time can I pray Fajr till? Am I right in thinking up to sunrise?

Answer

In ‘Nur ul Idah’ it is stated:

“The timing of the Fajr prayer is from the True Dawn until just before Sunrise.”

[Nur ul Idah pg. 69]

It is further stated in the same book that from the nullifiers of prayer is:

“The rising of the sun in Fajr.” [ibid pg. 120]

Therefore must complete the Fajr prayer prior to sunrise.

Allah knows best.
