Completing fajr salaah few seconds before the time expires
Question
I would like to know if I read Fajr Salaah and after I finished, I saw the time was 5:39. Few seconds later, when I checked the time again It was 5:40 and sunrise is at 5:40. Should I repeat the salaah or is it okay and within the time?
Answer
If you completed the salaah before sunrise, the salaah is valid and will not have to be repeated.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
