Ruling on sleeping on the left side

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does a Muslim commit a sin if he sleeps on his left side?

Answer:
There is no blame on him for that; however, it is better to begin sleeping on the right side. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would begin with the right side and said (peace and blessings be upon him):
When any of you comes to his bed, let him perform wudu, then lie down on his right sideإذا أتى أحدكم فراشه؛ فليتوضأ، ثم ليضطجع على جنبه الأيمن
This is the best, to begin sleeping at night on his right side while in a state of ritual purity. This is the best. If he sleeps on his left side, there is no blame on him. And if he begins sleeping and then turns over, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
