Does drowsiness invalidate the ablution?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person says: Does drowsiness invalidate the ablution?

Answer:
No, unless he is leaning on something that invalidates the ablution. As for if he is not leaning on anything, drowsiness does not invalidate the ablution. The Companions used to wait with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for the 'Isha' prayer until their heads would nod, then they would stand up and pray without performing ablution. One who is in control of himself and does not lean on anything is not harmed by drowsiness. Yes.
