Fajr nafl prayer (Arabic: رَغِيبَةُ الْفَجْرِ ; dawn supererogatory prayer) is an Islamic prayer (salat) that is performed after the second adhanofdawn and before Fajr (dawn-time prayer).[1][2]
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]
