Question:
Thank you, Abu 'Abdullah. We move on to our brother 'Abd al-'Aziz. Please go ahead. Hello, peace be upon you. And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah. Peace. What is the ruling on drowsiness in prayer, and does it invalidate the prayer or not? Fine, another question. No doubt. Please, Shaykh Salih.
Answer:
Drowsiness is not by your choice and it does not harm the prayer. If it is drowsiness that overtook you during the prayer, then it does not harm, and this is not by your choice. So complete your prayer, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
