Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. Regarding lying down after the Sunnah of the Fajr prayer, after the adhan, the Sunnah prayer of Fajr, and then lying down afterwards: is this specific to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), or to the imam, or is it general for all Muslims?
The Shaykh : What appears to be the case is: that it is a recommended practice (sunnah) for whoever needs it, a recommended practice (sunnah) for whoever needs it, meaning, for example, a person is tired and wants to rest by lying down in order to be able to perform the Fajr prayer.
As for one who has no need for it, then no. Likewise, one who fears that if he lies down he will fall asleep and not wake up until after the sun has risen, this person does not lie down.
