Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, regarding the midday nap, is it based on need, or is it considered obligatory in the sense that a person who wakes up, for example, at ten thirty,
The Shaykh : ten thirty in the morning, I mean?
The questioner : for example, or ten, or nine thirty; if he finds that he does not need to sleep, for example; does he remain, for example, like this until the afternoon prayer without sleeping, or is this midday nap necessary?
The Shaykh : No, it is not necessary; that is, it is not an act of worship, it is a matter of reason; if he needs it, he does it, and if not, he does not.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
