Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the criterion for the sleep that invalidates the ablution?
Answer:
Yes. The sleep that invalidates the ablution is when a person is leaning on something, or lying down, or in a state where he is not aware of himself. As for the one who is sitting, he is aware of himself, so if he dozes off, his ablution is not invalidated.
