Praying at home when drowsiness overcomes one after work
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In the present time, after returning from work or studies, if a man sleeps, he may miss the 'Asr prayer in its time, or at the beginning of its time. And if he does not sleep until he prays it, drowsiness overtakes him at the beginning of its time. Is it permissible for him in this case to pray at home and then sleep?
Answer:
It is not permissible for this to be a constant habit. Praying when drowsiness overcomes him is a general matter, but making it a constant habit is not. He does not sleep except for the 'Asr prayer. Most people do not sleep except for the 'Asr prayer, and they have not slept, praise be to Allah. He prays 'Asr and is fine. Yes.
