Timing of fajr prayer
Question: 109
If the calender table indicates 4:45 a.m. as Ishraq till what
time can Fajr be prayed?
Thank you
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
If what is published in the calendar conforms to what is actually observed in reality, then
the answer to your question is what was narrated by Abu Huraira in the hadith of the
Prophet
(peace be upon him): “Whoever catches a raka’a of the morning prayer
before the sun rises has caught the prayer” (i.e. on time) (Bukhari).
It must be noted, however, that praying the five daily congregational prayers in the
mosque is wajib (compulsory) for men.
