Praying Fajr As The Sun Is About To Rise 

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

If there is one minute or so left till the end of fajr do you start the prayer?

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Walaikum assalam,

As you know, the Fajr prayer becomes invalid once the sun rises (=before the appearance of any part of its orb above the actual horizon). As such, in the above case, you would have to quickly pray such that you finish before the sun rises. If needed, you would have to leave all sunnas and even wajib acts if it comes down to it.

Wassalam,

Faraz.
