Lying down after the Sunnah of Fajr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is lying down after the Sunnah of Fajr done in the house or in the mosque? And does one continue lying down in the house?
Answer:
After standing in night prayer, my brothers, it is not just any matter. After standing in night prayer, the one who stands in night prayer like the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) lies down before Fajr. But if you get up from your bed and go lie down, what did we benefit from? Yes, the one who stands in night prayer lies down when Fajr approaches, or when the Fajr adhan is called, so that he can take a little rest. Yes, Dawud (peace be upon him) would sleep half the night, stand for a third of it, and sleep for a third of it, meaning he would rest for the Fajr prayer.
