Permissibility of offering the Fajr Prayer in congregation after sunrise

Q: Is it permissible to offer Fajr (Dawn) Prayer in congregation after sunrise (Part No. 6; Page No. 190


A: A person who misses Salah has to offer it in congregation, even after the elapse of its due time as much as they can. This is based on the Hadith that is authentically reported from `Imran ibn Al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: We traveled the whole night along with the Prophet (peace be upon him), and when it was almost dawn, we got down to rest, and we were overpowered (by sleep) till the sun's heat woke us up. All of us then got up in amazement hurrying to his water of ablution. The Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered Bilal to call to prayer and prayed the two Sunnah rak'ahs before dawn. Bilal then declared Iqamah (the second call to prayer) and we performed the (dawn) prayer. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
