Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibit sleeping after the 'Asr prayer, and likewise after Maghrib?
Answer:
As for after 'Asr, it is disliked from a medical standpoint, except for one who needs it. But if one has a name or a need for sleeping after 'Asr, it is not suitable from a medical standpoint. As for sleeping after Maghrib, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked sleeping before the 'Isha' prayer; he disliked sleeping before the 'Isha' prayer and disliked talking after it, because he would sleep after the 'Isha' prayer to get up to stand in the night prayer, to perform tahajjud, peace and blessings be upon him.
