Prayer is an essential part of Muslim life. After believing in Allah and His Messenger, prayer is the strongest pillar of Islam. So we pray five times a day. But many wake up late for Fajr prayer. As a result, the question comes to us – Can I pray Fajr after sunrise?

Translation: Prayers have been obligatory for believers to perform at the appointed time. (Surah Nisa – 103)
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) served the Fajr prayer before sunrise from his migration to Medina until his death.
After his death, Sahaba Karam, Tabiin Tabi Tabiin, and Salaf Salihin have also been performing Fajr prayers before sunrise.
