Sleep that invalidates the ablution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Does every kind of sleep invalidate the ablution?
Answer:
Sleep in which a person is not aware of himself, such as leaning on something, or lying on the ground, where he cannot control himself, this invalidates the ablution. But if he is in control of himself, such as sitting and being in control of himself, then the issue of light sleep while he is in control of himself does not harm. The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) used to wait for the prayer with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for the night prayer until their heads would nod from drowsiness, then they would stand up and pray without performing the ablution. Yes.
