Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Q&A- Praying Fajr Early after Tahajjud at Home

			If a person misses Fajr congregation due to
		

			having woken up for Tahajjud and prayed Fajr
		

			at the start time, would this be acceptable?
		

			That's always been a bit of a dilemma
		

			because all of our masajid pray towards the
		

			end of times.
		

			And I think, and I'm going to mention
		

			this, I think at least one masjid in
		

			every locality, you know, especially when you have
		

			5-10 masjids in a locality, at least
		

			there should be one masjid that prays at
		

			an early time, to cater for those people
		

			who do Tahajjud.
		

			Right?
		

			They should really do that.
		

			At least a small masjid should do that,
		

			they should be bold enough to do that.
		

			I know it's not afdal in the Hanafi
		

			school, but with our times, we can't have
		

			a full routine of the year, because our
		

			times fluctuate in Fajr from sunrise at 4
		

			.30 or 4.20 or whatever it is,
		

			to about 8 o'clock in the morning.
		

			And it's very difficult throughout the year to
		

			have a routine and work and so on,
		

			whereas in countries closer to the equator, like
		

			in the subcontinent, India, Pakistan, Saudi, etc., it's
		

			possible to have a routine throughout the year.
		

			So that's why I think, while it's afdal
		

			in the Hanafi school to make Fajr later,
		

			but then it's difficult to do Tahajjud as
		

			well then.
		

			So I think in that case, it would
		

			be better to do Tahajjud and an early
		

			Fajr in Jama'ah somewhere.
		

			So a masjid should cater for that.
		

			JazakAllah Khairan.
