The Ruling on Intentionally Sleeping Through the Prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man uses a treatment after the Fajr prayer, which consists of thirteen pills, including sleeping pills. Yes, that is correct. Thirteen pills, some of which are sleeping pills. Then he sleeps and does not wake up until nine o'clock at night, so he prays the prayers he delayed because of the sleep. What is the ruling on his situation?
Answer:
This is not permissible for him. It is not permissible for him to sleep through the Zuhr prayer, the 'Asr prayer, or the Maghrib prayer. This is not permissible for him. Rather, he should instruct one of his family members to wake him up, or set an alarm clock for the time, so that he attends to his prayer and does not be lax in it. This sleep is not an excuse because it is intentional. That is the case.
