The ruling on sleeping on one's back

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible to sleep on one's back?

Answer:
It is permissible, but sleeping on the right side is better. It is permissible to sleep on your back. What is disliked is sleeping on your stomach. As for sleeping on your right side, that is better; or on your left side, that is permissible; or on your back, there is no harm in it.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
