Ask The Imam Question and Answer

938 I have heard if you join Fajr Jamaat and we have not prayed our 2 Sunnah we will not be able to pray this at this point.

I have also heard whereby we can still pray the 2 Fajr Sunnahs before 12pm.
The two Sunnahs of Fajr Salaah (Prayer) are very important and highly stressed in Shariah. The Scholars in light of Hadith Shareef repeatedly emphasized that these should be read if missed due to joining Jamaat.

Moving to the second part of your question, yes you have heard correctly. These Sunnah cannot be read straight after Jamaat and would have to be prayed after sunrise, up until the start of Zawaal time (time in which Salaah can’t be performed).

It is important to remember that If a person comes to the Masjid and the Jamaat (Congregation) has just started, then he should read the two Sunnahs before joining the Jamaat, as long as he knows he will be able to recite them quick enough to join the Jamaat. If he comes to the Masjid at a point so late that he knows he will miss the Jamaat should he read the Sunnahs, then he should join the Jamaat.
