Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I work in a military sector, and my job is to guard a workshop. This workshop has a door that is locked at night. I work one day and then have three days off. Is it permissible for me to sleep while I am guarding the workshop?
Answer:
If sleeping does not pose a danger to the workshop, it is fine. If sleeping causes the guard duty to be neglected or poses a danger that the workshop will be looted, then sleeping is not permissible. No.
