Drowsiness While Reciting the Qur'an in the Mosque and Its Effect on the Ablution

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, in Ramadan the Muslim strives to draw near to Allah by reciting the Qur'an. He says: I am in Ramadan and I sit in the mosque a lot, but I doze off when I recite because I sit from one obligatory prayer to the next.

Answer:
This does not harm the one who is sitting if he dozes off; it does not harm him, and he remains in his state of ablution, unless he is leaning on something. If he is leaning on something, then this is considered sleep, and his ablution is invalidated by the sleep. But if he is in control of himself and sitting, then his drowsiness does not harm him, whether in prayer or outside of it. The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) used to wait with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for the 'Isha' prayer until their heads would nod from drowsiness, and they would stand up and pray without performing ablution. Yes.
