Question :

Is it permissible to sleep after the time of the Fajr prayer has begun, with the intention of waking up shortly afterward?



The Answer :

All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master, the Messenger of Allah.

If a person sleeps after the time of Fajr has begun, with the second adhān, then sleeping is forbidden (ḥarām) at that point, unless he is certain that he will wake up and perform the prayer within its time. And Allah Almighty knows best.
