The Ruling on Drowsiness While Waiting for Prayer and Its Effect on Ablution

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks about the drowsiness he experiences during the Fajr prayer while waiting for the prayer. He asks: Does it invalidate the ablution?

Answer:
No, as long as he is sitting, even if he dozes off, his ablution is not invalidated. The Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to wait for the prayer until their heads would nod from drowsiness, then they would stand up and pray without renewing their ablution, as in the authentic hadith. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
