The ruling on sleeping through the Maghrib prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling, Honorable Shaykh, on what some female students do when they return from school or college? Perhaps they sleep the whole day until the Maghrib adhan?
Answer:
This is not permissible; it is a waste of the obligatory prayers. Sleeping is permissible, but only after the prayer. Once they have performed the prayer, there is no harm in sleeping after 'Asr for those who need it, but only after performing the prayers. As for a person sleeping through the prayer, that is abandoning the prayer and delaying it beyond its time. If he deliberately delays it, his prayer after the time has passed is not valid. Yes.
