Muslims fasting in Ramadan, usually start their day just before sunrise, eating their last meal and performing their dawn prayers, known as fajr. The meal eaten at this time is known as suhoor and If I get up late in the morning to fast after Fajr Salaat , can I still say neeyat and start fasting? Answer. Bismillah. Al-jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah’s guidance) One can make the intention after Subah Sadiq (Fajr time) as long as one did not eat food etc. However, It is virtuous to make Niyyah of fast during Subah Sadiq.

Unfortunately many of us have become so used to missing it at its prescribed time - which ends at sunrise - that we have forgotten its position in our religion, and barely feel anything is wrong when we wake up in the morning for work or school without having performed the fajr prayer. It is permissible for a fasting person to get up in the morning while in a state of sexual defilement, however, it is not permissible for him to delay performing Ghusl (ritual bath) until 11:00 a.m. or until the time of Thuhr- as the questioner mentioned- because he is required to perform the Fajr prayer at its prescribed fixed time while in a state of purity. The evening has come to me and the whole universe belongs to Allah who is The Lord of the worlds. O Allah, I ask of you the good of the night, it's success and aid and its nur (celestial light) and barakaat (blessings) and seek hidayat (guidance) and refuge from the evil of this night and the evil that is to come later. (Abu Dawood) As Muslims must wake up early for the dawn prayer both weekdays and weekends, this has led to two kinds of sleep-wake patterns. One is the continuous sleep that is followed by dawn prayer upon .
