Can we perform the morning prayer before imsak time?
I am a service driver. Due to my job, I have to leave the house early. There is no problem in performing the morning prayer in the summer months, but if I wait for the prayer time in the winter months, I am late for work. Moreover, after I start working, I do not have the opportunity to stop and pray somehow. Is it appropriate to perform the morning prayer approximately twenty minutes before the imsak time?
Fajr prayer cannot be performed before the time of imsak, and if it is, it will not be the morning prayer. Between imsak and sun time, you have to come up with another solution and at least make the obligatory one. May Allah help you.
