The Ruling on Making up the Sunnah of Fajr after the Prayer

Question :

I always go to Fajr prayer and I find that the prayer has begun and I have not yet prayed the Sunnah of Fajr... Is it allowed for me to pray it after completing the prayer? I mean, after the Imam's Taslim? And if I wait until the sun has risen before praying it, will I lose any of the reward for it, bearing in mind that the two Rak'ahs of Fajr are better than the world and what is in it, according to the Hadith?

Answer:

If it is not easy for the Muslim to perform the Sunnah of Fajr before the prayer, he may choose between performing it after the prayer, or delaying it until after the sun has risen, because the Sunnah has been confirmed from the Prophet to that effect. As for performing it after the prayer, it has been confirmed that he approved when someone did that.
