Missing Fajr Salaah

· 1 Jumada II 1446 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I had a wet dream and went for ghusl. There was like 18 mins left for sunrise to pray Fajr when I went to do ghusl. While doing ghusl, when I checked my phone it was 7:16 and time for sunrise was going to be over at 7:25. So when I saw the time was 7:16, I did fast and made a call to a person which took 15 seconds. Then I started washing my parts but unintentionally it took more time. When I finished washing my parts it was 7:24 and now the time was over because I had to make wudu also. I made wudu and prayed my salah. Is my salah valid?

Answer

Make tawba for missing your salaah. In future, wake up more early for salaah and ensure that you perform your fard salaah with jamaat in the musjid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
