Is there some advice for those who are lazy with regards to Fajr in congregation?
Question:
"May Allāh be good to you. The questioner says: "May Allāh reward you. Is there some advice for those who don't make effort in attending the Fajr prayer in congregation, even from those who are well known from the students of knowledge and from the people of goodness and righteousness?
Answer:
"He (the Prophet) ﷺ said:
"The most burdensome prayers for the hypocrites are the 'Ishā' and the Fajr prayer!"[1]
Thus whoever is lazy with regards to the prayer in congregation at the time of Fajr possesses a characteristic of the hypocrites! This is hypocrisy! It is therefore upon him to be very cautious in this regard and to make effort in attending the Fajr prayer and all the prayers (in general). Yes."

[1] Narrated by Al-Bukhārī and Muslim on the authority of Abū Hurayrah, may Allāh be pleased with him.
Shaykh Saalih bin Fawzaan Al-Fawzaan, may Allah preserve him

السؤال: أحسن الله إليكم، يقول السائل: أثابكم الله، هل من كلمة توجيهية لمن لا يحرصون على صلاة الفجر جماعةً حتى ممن يشار إليهم بالبنان من طلبة العلم وأهل الخير والصلاح؟
جواب الشيخ صالح الفوزان حفظه الله: قال صلى الله عليه وسلم: “أَثْقَلُ الصَّلَوَاتِ عَلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ صَلاَةُ الْعِشَاءِ وَصَلاَةُ الْفَجْرِ”، فالذي يتكاسل عن صلاة الجماعة في الفجر هذا متصف بصفة المنافقين، هذا نفاق فعليه أن يحذر من هذا، وأن يحرص على حضور صلاة الفجر وجميع الصلوات، نعم
