The Criterion for Drowsiness in Prayer and Its Effect on It

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, what is the criterion for drowsiness in prayer if a person is in the mosque, and does it invalidate the prayer?

Answer:
No, drowsiness in prayer does not invalidate the prayer, because it is something beyond a person's control. However, if a person feels sleepy and his head is heavy, he should sleep first, then pray after he has had his fill of sleep. Yes.
