Is sleeping on the stomach forbidden?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
I was told that sleeping on the stomach is forbidden. Is this correct? If it is correct, what should I do, because I do not feel comfortable unless I sleep in this position, and sleeping on the stomach is comfortable for me?
Answer: It was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): And in another narration: So it is disliked; it is a disliked position. It should be avoided except in cases of dire necessity, such as pain that requires the person to adopt this position. Otherwise, it should be avoided. The minimum ruling for it is that it is disliked, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): It should be avoided, and at the very least, it is disliked. Although the apparent meaning of the hadith is prohibition, the believer, male or female, should avoid this position except in a case of dire necessity where there is no alternative. Yes.
Answer: It was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
He saw some of his Companions sleeping on their stomachs, so he nudged them with his foot and said to them: This is a position that Allah hates.
أنه رأى بعض أصحابه قد نام على بطنه، فحركه برجله، وقال له: إن هذا ضجعة يبغضها اللهIt is the sleep of the people of the Fire
إنها ضجعة أهل النارThis is a position that Allah hates.
إن هذه الضجعة يبغضها الله
