The Ruling on Ablution from Drowsiness

This is a letter from a female questioner who did not mention her name. She says: When I pray the Duha prayer and wait for the Zuhr prayer, drowsiness overcomes me. Does my ablution become invalid because of it, or not?
Answer: Drowsiness does not invalidate the ablution, provided it is drowsiness in the true sense, without heavy sleep that causes one to lose consciousness. If that is the case, it does not invalidate the ablution. Drowsiness is when a person feels sleepy and lowers his head at times, but he still hears people and hears speech, and his consciousness does not completely disappear. This does not invalidate the ablution. The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) used to wait for the Isha prayer in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and their heads would nod from drowsiness, then they would pray without performing ablution.
As for heavy sleep that causes one to lose consciousness, this invalidates the ablution. You should be careful about this matter. Heavy sleep that causes one to lose consciousness invalidates your ablution, and you must perform ablution. However, mere drowsiness accompanied by awareness and consciousness of those around you who are speaking or walking or the like, this does not invalidate the ablution. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
