Sleeping Before Fajr Prayer

Question

A person who stays up late and falls asleep just before the Fajr prayer without intending to neglect it, believing they would wake up for the prayer, is concerned about whether they will be held accountable for this.

Answer 1

Peace be upon you. In this case, it is not necessary to set an alarm, and sleeping is not forbidden even if one knows they might not wake up. They will not be held accountable unless it is considered a form of negligence regarding the prayer in a customary sense. May you be successful in all good.
