Performing the fardh of fajr only due to time constraints
Question
Sometimes when I wake up for fajr, I wake up a little late and the time of fajr is nearly on its end. So in that circumstance can I pray only fardh? Because if I pray Sunnah, then to complete my fardh I have to rush my prayer.
Answer
Rather read your fardh correctly.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
