is it allowed to go back to sleep after perfoming Fajr prayer on time?

brother i see no reason why not, it is fard to perform the prayer therefore you MUST get up for it but if you do not want to pray more after its up2u. However i find it best to wake up an hour before fajr to pray tahajjud for when you pray tahajjud Allah descends into the lowest heaven to hear who is repenting or asking nething of him so that he may concede to there request! (sahih bukhari), so inshaAllah if u wish to do extra do that

is Tahajjud prayer considered at 11:00 PM at night too? because usually before I go to sleep I perform a 2 rakat prayer (at about 11 PM)?

tahajjud is at the third part of the night, so i wud say from 2-6AM

lol bro i really doubt your tahajjud prayer would get accepted at 11PM but Allahu Allam... but i doubt it

lol thats what i do, inshaAllah may Allah give you the strength and iman to perform this task!

lol bro trus me i set my alarm to 3am and end up wakin up at 4 after snoozing 3-4 times lol, its so hard to get uP!!! but Alhamdulilah Allah gives me the strength i need and i manage it

I got another question, is there any problem if I want to pray a 2 rakat prayer or 4 at any part of day/night just because I want to,(ex. I dont have anything to do and I got free time)?

not at all

Prophet [PBUH] used to pray at night.
That does not mean at 11PM!

Lets take the time zone for Madina:

Isha Prayer is at 8:03PM

Therefore, One can assume that he prayed until 10 MAX, and went to bed. (plz keep in mind that during those days there was no electricity - and supplies for Muslim Ummah was limited)

Fajr Prayer is at 5:05AM

The Prophet then got up at night (one may assume 3 o'clock or so) and prayed.

The rest can be read in the following Hadith:

Aswad Ibn Yazeed - reported from Aa'isha (Radhiallaahu Anhu) that the Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) spent his nights in prayer. She said, 'We slept during the first part of the night, then the Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) woke up and prayed. After the prayers, we enjoyed sexual relations if we so desired. When he heard the adhaan (call for morning prayer) he took the ceremonial bath by pouring water over himself. Otherwise, he performed only the ablution (wudhoo). Then he left home to pray in the Mosque.' (Bukhaari)


note: the timing is just a guess

one day I got up 15 minutes before Fajr prayer , cuz usually I need about 10 minutes to do ablution, and when I got finished I went to see the clock, and it was like 7 minutes after the starting of Fajr, and I was wondering , did I go back to sleep or what? how did those minutes go? lol

Salam bro
u can sleep, as long as u completeed the fard prayer well. I have a question everyone ? IS Nawafil salatul ishraaq and Nawafil Saalatul duha the same???

Lol bro were u doing ablution or sleeping?? U guys are funny lol
I take also arnd 5 to 8 mins to do ablution, smtimes wen i get home late from werk, and asar is gonna end, i have to quicken my ablution so i can pray finish asar

hmm tahajjud can not be performed once fajr begins right? like say the time for fajr has come, can u quikly do 2-10 rakaat nawaffil then do fajr?

No dear bro
u cant
The best time to do tahajjud is before fajr, e.g 5am or 4am. Its the best as Allah will grant ur prayers as he will be at the Lowest heaven at this time. So its better to pray at this time. U cant do it at fajr time. However there is 2 rakaah sunnah b4 fajr, and Prophet mohammed said that this prayer is better than this world

But bro, i only do 2 rakaah, as truthfully i dunno how to do 4 rakaah nawafil? or 8 rakaah? How do i do this
Do i do 2 rakaah by 2 rakaah, and at the end of every two rakaah i say the salaam, and get up to pray the next set of 2 rakaah, and wat intention do i make in the start? Do i say"im making e.f 4 rakaah" and after each 2 rakaah, i get up and do the next 2 rakaah without doing another intention?

Question :

As-salamu alaikun,
I would like to know if there is any verdict concerning sleeping after fajr salat? (subuh)
Shukran. Jazakukmul-lahu khairan.

Answer :

Praise be to Allaah.

As far as a person’s sleeping after praying Fajr is concerned, no text (of Qur’aan or hadeeth) has been reported to indicate that this is prohibited, so the general principle applies (i.e., everything is permitted except that which has been expressly forbidden).

But the practice of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and his Companions after praying Fajr was to remain sitting in the place where they had prayed until the sun rose, as is reported in Saheeh Muslim (1/463) in the hadeeth of Sammaak ibn Harb, who said: “I asked Jaabir ibn Samurah, ‘Did you used to sit with the Messenger of Allaah?’ He said, ‘Yes, frequently. He would not get up from the place where he had prayed Subh until the sun rose. When the sun rose, he would get up. They used to talk about things that had happened during the Jaahiliyyah, and they would laugh and smile.’”

Also, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked his Lord to bless his ummah in the mornings, as is reported in the hadeeth of Sakhr al-Ghaamidi, who said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “O Allaah, bless my ummah in the mornings.’ Whenever he sent out troops or an army, he would send them at the beginning of the day.’” Sakhr was a trader, and he used to send out his caravans at the beginning of the day, and he did well as a result and made money.” (Reported by Abu Dawood, al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Maajah, with an isnaad in which there is some jahaalah (i.e., one narrator is unknown); corroborating evidence is to be found in a hadeeth narrated by ‘Ali, Ibn ‘Umar, Ibn ‘Abbaas, Ibn Mas’ood and others, may Allaah be pleased with them all.)

For this reason some of the salaf disliked the idea of sleeping after Fajr. Ibn Abi Shaybah reported in his Musannaf (5/222, no. 25442) with a saheeh isnaad from ‘Urwah ibn al-Zubayr that he said: “Al-Zubayr used to forbid his children to sleep in the morning.” ‘Urwah said: “I do not hear of any man who sleeps in the morning, but I lose interest in that person.”

In summary then, people should make the most of this time which can bring many benefits in this world and in the Hereafter, but if a person sleeps at this time to gain strength to do his work, there is nothing wrong with this, especially if it is not easy for him to sleep at any other time of the day. Ibn Abi Shaybah reported in his Musannaf (5/223, no. 25454) from the hadeeth of Abu Yazeed al-Madeeni who said: “Umar came to Suhayb one morning and found him sleeping, so he sat down until he woke up. Suhayb said: ‘The Ameer al-Mu’mineen is sitting in his place and Suhayb is sleeping!’ ‘Umar said to him: ‘I did not like to disturb your sleep that could be beneficial for you.’”

As for sleeping after ‘Asr, this is also permitted; there is no saheeh hadeeth from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to indicate that sleeping at this time is prohibited.

As for the words, “Whoever sleeps after ‘Asr and loses his mind as a result has no-one to blame but himself,” which are attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), this is a false hadeeth and there is no proof that these words were uttered by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). See: Silsilat al-Da’eefah, no. 39.
And Allaah knows best.
