Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, the fasting person who stays up at night and sleeps for most of the day, but he gets up and prays the times in their proper time with the congregation. Is there any blame in that?
Answer:
If he prays the times, meaning he prays the prayers in their proper time with the congregation, then he has fulfilled what is required of him; he has fulfilled the obligatory acts. However, his excessive sleep causes him to miss the remembrance of Allah, it causes him to miss reciting the Qur'an, and it causes him to miss many deeds. Yes.
