The Ruling on Lunch and the Midday Nap Before the Midday Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is lunch and the midday nap before the midday prayer part of the Sunnah?
The Shaykh:
No, this is among the customs. This is not part of the Sunnah; it is among the customs. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
But their intention is to indicate the time at which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray. Their intention is not that lunch and the midday nap are a recommended practice. This is among the permissible things and the customs.
