Question:
The questioner says: Sometimes, especially during the Fajr prayer, drowsiness overcomes a person, and he may fall asleep during the prayer for a few seconds, particularly during the final tashahhud. What is the ruling on this?
Answer:
If sleep and drowsiness overcome him, there is no harm in that, because it is not by his choice. If he falls asleep in prayer, there is no blame on him, because it is not by his choice.
