Question:
Salam,
I heard Mawlana Shaykh tell us that Hazrat Abubakar (AS) said that if you can hear the birds sing you already missed Fajr.
Should we pray with jama’t or pray Fajr at home so as to not miss it because of the delay. Please guide
JazakAllahu Khair
Answer:
As-Salamu ‘Alaikum,
The time for Fajr prayer lasts from the true dawn until the sun begins to rise.
“The time for Fajr prayer is from the breaking of dawn, so long as the sun has not started to rise.” Muslim, 612
If a believer offers Fajr prayer during this time, he has prayed on time.
