Question:
This questioner says: One day I was in one of the lectures, and the lecture was between Maghrib and 'Isha'. I fell asleep without realizing it for about ten minutes. The call to prayer for 'Isha was made, and I prayed 'Isha. Is my prayer valid?
Answer:
If you were sitting, meaning drowsiness overtook you while you were sitting, then your prayer is valid. But if you lay down and slept while lying down, or if you were leaning on something, then you must repeat the prayer, because sleeping while lying down or leaning invalidates the ablution. As for sleeping while sitting, that does not invalidate the ablution. Yes.
