Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: A man sleeps between two prayers, and he sleeps for a long time, then he gets up and performs the prayer without wudu. He says that it is reported that the Companions used to wait for the prayer, sleep, and then get up and pray without wudu.

Answer:
There is no power and no strength except with Allah. The Companions used to doze off while sitting. As for the one who lies down or leans on something, if he dozes off, it is obligatory for him to perform wudu, because he does not know what may have happened to him that he cannot control. The daughter of 'Aishah. Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
