Are the dhikr for sleep recited for every sleep, or only for the sleep of the night?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, may Allah reward you. Regarding the dhikr for sleep, if a person wants to sleep, for example, at midday, does he recite the dhikr, or does he restrict himself to the dhikr of the night only?
The Shaykh : What appears to me is that the dhikr for sleep that has been transmitted is specifically for the sleep of the night. What appears to me is that the dhikr transmitted regarding sleep is for the sleep of the night. However, there is no blame on a person if he recites them during the sleep of the day, because they are dhikr, and there is no explicit text stating that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not recite them except during the sleep of the night. Yes, that is correct.
