Breaking the Ablution by Sleeping While Sitting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh Salih, may Allah preserve you. A questioner says: Does sleep break the ablution if one is sitting?
Answer:
If he is leaning on something, it breaks the ablution. But if he is sitting upright and not leaning on anything, it does not break the ablution. The Companions used to wait for the prayer with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) until their heads would nod from drowsiness, and they would pray without renewing their ablution. Yes.
