What is the ruling on sleeping while in a state of major ritual impurity?

The questioner : Sleeping while in a state of major ritual impurity without performing ablution.

The Shaykh : Some scholars consider sleeping while in a state of major ritual impurity without performing ablution to be forbidden, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . However, the well-known position in our school of jurisprudence is that it is disliked, and this is the closer view. But sometimes, for example, in the winter when the cold is severe, it is difficult for him to take a bath and then go back to sleep, or to perform ablution and then go back to sleep. So what I see is that, if Allah wills, there is nothing wrong with it.

The questioner : Performing ablution does not burden him, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Performing ablution may burden him, you do not know. It may burden him. Perhaps if a person is in the cold and has nothing but cold water, it may burden him. All right, O Musa, may Allah reward you. If Allah wills, until we meet again. And we ask Allah the Exalted to reward you for your attendance, because May Allah make us and you among its people by His grace and bounty.
