The Ruling on Sleeping on One's Stomach
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner asks: What is the ruling on a man sleeping on his stomach, and likewise a woman sleeping on her back or on her rear?
Answer:
As for sleeping on the stomach, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade it when he saw a man sleeping on his stomach. He said to him, "This is a sleep that Allah dislikes." So sleeping on the stomach is disliked for both the man and the woman. As for sleeping on the side or on the back, there is nothing wrong with that.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
