Is it permissible for a person to sleep naked?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it derived from the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Muzzammil 73:1] and from His saying: [Al-Muddaththir 74:1], is it derived that covering the body with a covering when sleeping is obligatory, or is that merely considered among the etiquettes? And what is the ruling on a person sleeping naked if no one is with him and he has recited the prescribed dhikr for sleep?
Answer:
A person does not sleep naked; this is not permissible. Does he cover himself? He covers his 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered). It is not permissible to strip naked except for bathing or for a pressing need, where he is alone and hidden from people for the sake of the need; there is no harm in that. As for stripping naked and sleeping while naked, it is not permissible. As for covering up, this is among the permissible things; we need to cover up, and what is not needed is left to the default ruling. Yes.

O you who wraps himself [in clothing],
يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُزَّمِّلُO you who covers himself [with a garment],
يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُAnswer:
