Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah preserve you, O Shaykh: Is it permissible for a person to sleep alone?
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : Is it permissible for a person to sleep alone?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is permissible, but it is disliked to sleep alone because one might need something and find no one to help him, or Allah the Exalted might take his soul and no one would know about it, as has happened often; people do not know about the person until the smell of his corpse becomes apparent. However, if there is a need for it, there is no blame. Yes.
