Is this prayer considered to be on time?
Question
What if you accidentally wake up one day 10 min before tulu, make wudu then pray fajr and once completing the preayer you see that there is only about 10 seconds left untill tulu according to the calendar. Is this prayer considered to be on time?
Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh
If you performed your Fajr salah before the actual tulu (rising of the sun) as per the calendar, your salah will be valid.
And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
Wassalam
