The ruling on sleeping on the stomach and leaning on the hands while sitting

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our sister asks whether it is forbidden for a person to sleep on his stomach, or not, and whether it is permissible for a person to lean on his hands, or on one of them, while sitting?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with leaning on his hands, or on one of them, but he should not sleep on his stomach. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade that; sleeping is not appropriate on the stomach. The least of its states is severe dislike. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
It is the sleep of the people of the Fireإنها ضجعة أهل النار
So he should not sleep on his stomach, but on his side, on his side, or on his back. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
