FatwaSarawakPrayer (Salah)
Waktu Syuruk
Must a Subuh prayer be repeated as qada if sunrise begins during the second rak'ah, and what intention applies if the prayer starts after sunrise?
Short answer
If sunrise begins after a person has completed at least one full rak'ah of Subuh within its time, the prayer continues and counts as ada' (performed on time), with no need to repeat it or change the intention to qada'.

Summary
If sunrise begins after a person has completed at least one full rak'ah of Subuh within its time, the prayer continues and counts as ada' (performed on time), with no need to repeat it or change the intention to qada'. If the opening takbir is made after sunrise has begun, the prayer is qada' because it falls outside its time. Specifying an ada' or qada' intention is recommended rather than obligatory, and the status of the prayer depends on when it is performed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, apabila solat Subuh tersebut didirikan pada jam 6.40 pagi, sedangkan waktu Subuh telah berakhir, maka solat tersebut dengan sendirinya dihukumkan sebagai solat qada' kerana dilaksanakan di luar waktunya.
