    Have I technically missed the salah?

    Today, I woke up in the early Fajr time... But I decided to sleep and hopefully be woken by my mom an hour later. This is because then I can recite and have a long Fajr salat and recite my best without any temptations/shyness.

    But I ended up waking a few minutes before sunrise. I managed to say Takbeer and enter the prayer before sunrise though, but I like to be safe and ask did I commit a major sin my missing Fajr and should I never do this again?

    He is Allah, other than whom there is no deity, the Sovereign, the Pure, the Perfection, the Bestower of Faith, the Overseer, the Exalted in Might, the Compeller, the Superior. Exalted is Allah above whatever they associate with Him [59:23]

    Assalamu alaikum,

    It is not OK to pray outside the prescribed times without very good reason and is seen as a major sin. Fajr should be completed before sunrise or it becomes invalid. But it is good that you are showing concern, as it shows that you care. The most important thing is to pray for forgiveness and try to make up for you lapse with good deeds. Allah is Most Merciful and in sha'Allah will forgive us for all our sins.

    The following explanation is from Islam QA:

    https://islamqa.info/en/65941

    Delaying Fajr prayer until the sun has almost risen

    What is the ruling on delaying Fajr prayer until the sun has almost risen and not offering it at the proper time?.
    Published Date: 2004-12-04
    Praise be to Allaah.

    Firstly:

    The five daily prayers have set times, the beginning and end of which are well defined, and the prayer must be offered on time. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

    “Verily, As‑Salaah (the prayer) is enjoined on the believers at fixed hours”

    [al-Nisa’ 4:103]

    This indicates that the prayers are obligatory and have set times, and are not valid at other times. These times are well established among the Muslims, young and old, knowledgeable and ignorant, and they learned that from their Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) who said: “Pray as you have seen me praying.”

    From Tafseer al-Sa’di, p. 204

    Delaying the prayer beyond its proper time with no excuse is a major sin, and Allaah has warned us against it as He says (interpretation of the meaning):

    “So woe unto those performers of Salaah (prayers) (hypocrites),

    5. Those who delay their Salaah (prayer from their stated fixed times)”

    [al-Ma’oon 107:4-5]

    ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: (This means) those who delay their prayers from the proper time.

    See Tafseer al-Qurtubi, 20/211

    Secondly:

    We have stated in the answer to question no. 9940 the times of the five daily prayers.

    The time for Fajr prayer lasts from the onset of the true dawn until the sun starts to rise.

    The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The time for Fajr prayer is from the breaking of dawn, so long as the sun has not started to rise.” Narrated by Muslim, 612.

    If a person offers this prayer during this time, he has prayed on time. Based on this, what is mentioned in the question about praying close to sunrise not being the right time is not correct. Rather the time for Fajr prayer lasts until the sun begins to rise.

    Thirdly:

    The questioner may be referring to some people who delay Fajr prayer until they are certain or think it most likely that the time for it has started. This is due to what is said about mistakes about the time of Fajr in the timetables that are currently available.

    But this mistake is not so serious, rather some scholars have stated that it is only the matter of between 20 and 30 minutes. See question no. 26763.

    Fourthly:

    It was the Prophet’s way to pray Fajr before the light of day appeared. This is indicated by a number of ahaadeeth:

    1 – al-Bukhaari (560) and Muslim (646) narrated that Jaabir ibn ‘Abd-Allaah said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to pray Fajr when it was still dark (ghalas).

    Al-Bukhaari (872) and Muslim (645) narrated from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to pray Fajr when it was still dark (ghalas) and the believing women would depart and no one would recognize them because it was so dark, or they would not recognize one another.

    The word “ghalas” refers to the darkness at the end of the night, as it says in the dictionary, and that is the beginning of the dawn.

    End quote from Subul al-Salaam.

    Al-Nawawi said:

    The words “and no one would recognize them because it was so dark” refer to the fact that it was still nighttime and dark. Al-Dawoodi said: What this means is that no one could tell if they were women or men.

    End quote from Sharh Muslim by al-Nawawi.

    3 – Ibn Maajah (671) narrated that Mugheeth ibn Sumay said: I prayed Fajr with ‘Abd-Allaah ibn al-Zubayr in the darkness at the end of the night just before daybreak, and when he said the tasleem I turned to Ibn ‘Umar and said, What is this prayer? He said, This is how we prayed with the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and with Abu Bakr and ‘Umar. When ‘Umar was stabbed, ‘Uthmaan delayed it until there was light.

    Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Ibn Maajah.

    These ahaadeeth indicate that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to pray Fajr at the beginning of its time.

    Ibn Qudaamah said in al-Mughni (1/540):

    With regard to Fajr prayer, it is better to pray when it is still dark. This is the view of Maalik, al-Shaafa’i and Ishaaq. There is also evidence to this effect narrated from Abu Bakr, ‘Umar, Ibn Mas’ood, Abu Moosa, Ibn al-Zubayr and ‘Umar ibn ‘Abd al-‘Azeez.

    Asalaamualaykum Dear brother:

    Firstly - your entire question is a contradiction. You have stated that you have awakened during the early Fajr period but then slept because you hoped your mother would wake you up later because you wanted to "have a long Fajr Salaah". With all due respect, but had you wanted a long fajr Salaah, you would have just stayed awake in the first place and began praying earlier rather than later, since you awakened during the fajr period anyway !!!!

    The answer to your question would depend on your following of school of Jurisprudence.

    The Hanafi Jurisprudence terminates the starting of Fajr Salaah 5-10 minutes before sunrise thereby eliminating the problem your encountered.

    If you state your understanding in jurisprudence then perhaps another person will give you the correct law relating to the issue.
