Aslam

general Sign in to save

I always pray Fajr namaz at 7 in the morning, so do I have to pray sunnath too? or only faraz?

Praise be to Allah.

If you are praying Fajr prayer before the sun rises, then the

Sunnah in your case is to pray the regular Sunnah of Fajr which is two

rak’ahs. If you miss Fajr and do not wake up until after the sun has risen,

then you should pray Sunnah and then Fard (obligatory prayer). But if you

always delay Fajr prayer until after the sun has risen, this is a serious

problem. In this case, before you ask about the Sunnah prayer you have to

pause and ask yourself what you will say when you stand before Allaah on the

Day of Resurrection, and He calls you to account for neglecting Fajr

prayer.
