ANSWER:

The owner of the house or whoever represents him is the most worthy of leading the prayer, regardless of who the guests are or their ages or their memorization of the Quran.

QUESTION: If my friends come over at home (well, my dad’s home), is it the right of me or my brother to lead the prayer instead of them (only me and my friends, or maybe if their dads come too). Also, if one is a haafidh, can I/my brother(one of us has memorised more Quraan but not all) still lead the prayer/is that permissible

QUESTION: I woke up, noticed that I had not heard my alarm clock, took a look at the watch and the time to pray fajr had expired by 30-40 minutes and I went back to sleep. When I finally woke up I prayed the missed fajr prayer. Also this is not something that happens regularly since I basically never miss the fajr prayer and always hear my fajr alarm.
