Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence! This questioner says: What is the ruling for one who sleeps while in a state of major ritual impurity without performing ablution?
Answer:
It is disliked. The recommended practice is to perform ablution; the minimum is to perform ablution. The recommended practice is to perform ablution and then sleep (peace and blessings be upon him). He might also perform the full ritual bath before that. If he performs the full ritual bath, that is more complete. If he sleeps and performs the full ritual bath at the end of the night, there is no harm, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. As for sleeping without ablution and without the full ritual bath, this is disliked. 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet about that, and he said: He said: “How can one of us sleep while in a state of major ritual impurity?” He said: And in another wording: .
The point is: It is prescribed for the believer, when he has finished relieving himself, to perform ablution, wash his private parts, and perform the ablution for prayer, and then sleep. If he performs the full ritual bath, that is more complete. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did both: sometimes he performed the full ritual bath before sleeping, and sometimes he performed ablution and slept, then performed the full ritual bath at the end of the night, (peace and blessings be upon him).
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, Your Eminence the Shaykh.
