Sleeping through the Fajr Prayer

Question :

Sometimes I feel heavy and tired and I sleep and am unable to offer the Fajr prayer except in the house; is this allowed for me?

Answer:

It is incumbent upon the one who is obligated to observe the precepts of the religion to offer all of the five prayers in the mosque with his Muslim brothers, and it is not permissible for him to be careless in this. And not attending the Fajr prayer or any other prayer is one of the attributes of hypocrisy, as Allah, the Almighty, the All-Powerful says:

Verily, the hypocrites seek to deceive Allah, but it is He Who deceives them. And when they stand up for As-Salah (the prayer), they stand with laziness.

And the Prophet said:
"The most difficult prayers for the hypocrites are 'Isha' prayer and the Fajr prayer. And if they knew what (virtue) was in it, they would come to it crawling.

And he said:
"Whoever hears the call to prayer and did not answer it, there is no prayer for him, unless he has an excuse.»

A blind man came to the Prophet and said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have no guide to lead me to the mosque; is there any license for me to pray in my house?"

The Messenger of Allah asked:
Do you hear the call to prayer?

He replied: "Yes." He said:
Then answer it.

So if the blind man who has no one to lead him to the mosque has no license to abandon prayer in congregation, then it is clear that others have even less right. Therefore, it is incumbent upon you, O questioner, to fear Allah, the Almighty, the All-Powerful and to observe the prayer in congregation in Fajr and other prayers and to go to sleep early, so that you can wake up to perform the Fajr prayer. There is no license for you to pray at home, unless you have a valid excuse, such as illness or fear. May Allah grant success to all in finding the truth and keep us firm upon it.
