Employment . Fajr . Sawm (Fasting) . Salah (Prayers) . Qadha

If I arrive at work before Fajr while fasting and can't pray due to a busy morning, can I perform my Fajr Qada prayer later with my Dhuhr and Asr prayers? Will my fast still be valid in that case?

Bismihi ta'āla

You would definitely have enough time in your busy morning, while being awake, to take a 2 minute break and fast. If your employer does not allow it, remove yoursel from this job.

It is a major sin to deliberately not pray, and all the blessings and positivity will be taken away and drained from you if you were to intentionally not pray and take it lightly.

And Allah knows best

Fajr . Time . Salah (Prayers) . Sin . Sleep

Is it sinful if I often miss prayers and wake up late, such as around Maghrib or Isha, after staying up for Fajr? When I do wake up, I find it hard to get out of bed quickly and tend to delay my prayers. How can I change this pattern of behaviour?

It is obligatory to perform every obligatory Prayer on its time and ir us sinful to deliberately miss any obligatory Prayer. We must make every possible arrangement to perform our obligatory Prayers on time and never miss any of them.

We need to organize our sleeping time to be able to get up and perform our obligatory Prayers.

We might use an alarm or request some one to wake us up for obligatory Prayers.

Ghusl . Fajr . Salatul Layl . Jinn

Is it permissible to shower late at night, such as before Fajr or Tahajjud prayers? I have heard that bathing at this time can be dangerous due to potential Jinn possession. Is there any truth to this belief?

Yes it is permissible to have a shower or bath at any time including Fajr or before Fajr or after midnight. There is no question of any danger and such claim of danger is baseless.

If someone wakes up for Fajr and prays at the masjid, should they make supplication before going back to sleep, or is it permissible to sleep without making any supplication?

Qadha . Fajr . Time . Salah (Prayers) . Salatul Layl

Would it be more beneficial to prioritize completing my missed Qadha prayers over performing Salat al-Layl, considering that I currently make up for them by praying one Qadha Fajr Salah and another Qadha Salah daily?

The reward of performing Qadha Prayer is greater than performing recommended prayers. No doubt, performing both is much better, but if you have no other option but perform either Qadha or recommended prayer,b then Qadha is first because it is obligatory.

Angels . Fajr . Barakah

When we say that angels wake you up for Fajr, does the person feel their presence, hears a loud sound, and sees their light before waking up? How do people describe such a blessing or is it just a waking up with nothing being witnessed right before?

We as fallible humans can not see the angles nor hear their voice nor feel their light in this world. Pious believers will the angles after this life as we read in Quran (On that Day, they will see the angles) Sura Al-Forqan, verse 22.

Fajr . Fard

If Fajr is at 4:30am and sunrise is at 6:30am, does that mean Fajr can be read as Fardh until 6:29am or is it made Qadha at a certain earlier point before the time of sunrise?

Fajr Prayer time is between Fajr time and sunrise. It is Fardh till the last minute before sunrise. After sunrise, it becomes Qadha.
