Until what time can morning prayer (Fajr) be performed? What time does morning prayer end?

As the first and earliest prayer of the day, the morning prayer is observed by Muslims within a designated time frame like all other prayers. It is crucial to perform this prayer within its appointed time, which consists of two units of Sunnah and two units of Fard. The morning prayer begins after Imsak (pre-dawn meal time) and the call to prayer (Adhan), but it is considered more virtuous to wait a bit after Imsak begins.

It is narrated from Uqbah ibn Amir al-Juhani: "The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) forbade us from praying or burying our dead during three times: when the sun begins to rise until it is fully up, when the sun is at its height at midday until it passes the meridian, and when the sun draws near to setting until it sets." (Muslim, Salat al-Musafirin, 293 [831]; see also Abu Dawood, Tatavvu', 10 [1277]; Janaiz, 55 [3192]).
