Never miss your Fajr prayer. Know exactly when Fajr ends and when it becomes Qaza.
Today, the Fajr end time in Lahore is 4:57 AM. The time for Fajr prayer strictly ends at the exact moment of sunrise. Once the edge of the sun begins to appear above the eastern horizon, the time for Fajr is over. You must complete your Fajr prayer before this time.
If you have not prayed Fajr before 4:57 AM today, your Namaz e Fajr becomes Qaza. It is strictly prohibited (Makruh Tahrimi) to pray any Salah exactly at the time of sunrise. You must wait approximately 15 to 20 minutes after sunrise until the sun has fully risen (Ishraq time) before you can offer your Qaza Fajr prayer.
The last time of Fajr is the few minutes immediately preceding sunrise. However, delaying the prayer this late is generally disliked in Islam without a valid excuse. The Prophet (peace be upon him) warned against delaying prayers to their absolute last moments. For peace of mind, aim to pray closer to the Fajr start time of 3:18 AM.
