Prohibition of sleeping near a fire

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if I am in the desert and I sleep there during the night, and I have lit a fire to keep warm while I am sleeping, is this action contrary to the Sunnah?

Answer:
Yes, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited sleeping, or the people of the house sleeping, while leaving the fire, because it is dangerous, so do not sleep near it; stay away from it.
