Fajr nafl prayer

The optional dawn prayer is a pair of rakats which are offered to God just before performing the obligatory Fajr prayer which is fard.^[3][4]

This nafilah is considered by Muslim jurists (fuqaha) to be a confirmed Sunnah [ar], and it represents the beginning of the daytime prayers of the Muslim day, while the Witr is the closing of the nighttime prayers just after the Chafa'a prayer.^[5][6]

This Fajr nafilah is included in the prayers of regular Nafl prayers (ar - صلاة النافلة), which are the Sunnah prayers that follow the five obligatory prayers (Arabic: الصَّلَوَاتُ الْخَمْسَةُ).^[7][8]

This optional prayer performed before the obligatory dawn prayer is classified as a confirmed Sunnah according to Islamic law, is made of two rakates before the Fajr prayer are sealed with one taslim, and Muhammad performed them and advised his companions (Sahaba) to.^[9][10]

Muhammad encouraged it in the hadith that Imam Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj narrated in his book Sahih Muslim within the chapter on traveler's prayer [ar]:^[11][12]

Imam Al-Tabarani also has another hadith in his book Al-Mu'jam al-Kabir about the encouragement of this prayer, which reads:^[13][14]
