The ruling on the invalidation of wudu' by drowsiness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Another questioner asks. He says: I pray the Duha prayer and wait for the Zuhr prayer, and drowsiness overcomes me. Does this invalidate the wudu'?
Answer:
If you are sitting, drowsiness does not invalidate the wudu'; it does not invalidate the wudu'. The Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would be overcome by drowsiness while waiting for the prayer with the Messenger, and they would stand up and pray without performing wudu', as mentioned in the hadith. So if he is sitting and in control of himself and dozes off, this does not harm him. But if he is leaning on something and dozes off, his wudu' is invalidated because he is not in control of himself. Yes.
