Performing fajr Salaah before sunrise
Question
I am suffering from OCD (waswasa) and when I wake up for fajr prayer, I see the sky is light and I always think I am praying fajr in forbidden time. Is this the valid time for fajr? Please clarify.
Answer
If the salaah was performed before sunrise, then it was performed in its time.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
