Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a prohibition in the Shari'ah against sleeping after the Fajr prayer? Often drowsiness overcomes us, and we sleep after the prayer. This is the first question.
Answer:
Sleeping after Fajr is disliked, it is disliked unless one needs it. If one needs it, the dislike is removed. Otherwise, he should remember Allah or seek sustenance. The best of my Ummah is in its early morning, or words to that effect. So he seeks sustenance, or occupies himself with reciting the Qur'an or with the remembrance of Allah the Exalted. Unless he needs to sleep after Fajr, in which case he sleeps. Yes.
The presenter:
Very well. Yes.
