Drowsiness during work and reciting the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q3: A person says: It happens during work that his head nods off to sleep, or he dozes while sitting at his desk. One of the supervisors came in and told him that sleeping at work is forbidden and disrupts the work system.
Even though my job does not involve dealing with clients, and I have no work at that time, and the sleep happens against my will, what is the ruling? Is his statement correct? And is it permissible to occupy my free time with the Qur'an and dhikr, or not?
A3: Drowsiness during desk work has no effect and there is no sin on the one who experiences it, especially since it is beyond his control and does not prevent him from fulfilling the duties of his position. As for reciting the Qur'an during work, it is permissible if it does not affect the proper performance of official duties. In fact, occupying one's free time during work with reciting the Qur'an or dhikr is preferable to occupying it with anything else.
