The Ruling on Sleeping and Laziness During the Day in Ramadan

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. Also, among the questions, a brother says: I spend my day in Ramadan sleeping or relaxing because I am unable to work due to the intensity of my hunger and thirst. Does this affect the validity of my fast?

Answer:
This is a deficiency in your fasting; because the month of Ramadan is all good, and all its times are virtuous, and all its times are blessed. It is not fitting for you to be lazy during the day, to sleep a lot, or to indulge in laziness and lethargy, for you will miss this opportunity. You should sleep at night, because your sleeping during the day or your laziness may be caused by staying up late at night, as is the case with many people in this time. So you fast, and you sleep at night only as much as you need to get rest for your body, which suffices you from much fasting and suffices you from much sleeping during the day.
Sleeping during the day, in the middle of the day, means you sleep at night only as much as your body needs to rest. Likewise, you sleep during the day in the midday nap only as much as your body needs to rest and to be energetic for standing in night prayer. So sleep is measured by what is needed from the night and the day. As for the person who stays up all night and sleeps all day, he is a loser, especially in this great month. He does not pray with the congregation, or he delays the obligatory prayers from their time. These are forbidden acts, and these forbidden acts may invalidate his fast or affect it severely. So the Muslim must not let Satan and the self inclined to evil play with him. Yes.
