Assalamalikum wa rahmatulahi wa barakatu,
so it was recently mentioned to me about sleeping after Asr and how it is not allowed, I have heard this before but just decided to do a little research into it. Now for this we should remember that everything is permitted except that which has been expressly forbidden.
Ok, so after looking at several different reputable websites I found that there are a few false hadiths that people usually take the favour of not allowing themselves to sleep after asr. Namely “Whoever sleeps after `Asr and loses his mind as a result has no one to blame but himself,” which are attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), this is a false hadith and there is no proof that these words were uttered by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).”
Islamonline.net note: “As for sleeping after `Asr, this is also permitted; there is no authentic hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to indicate that sleeping at this time is prohibited”
Islam QA
Its amusing, I find these 2 sites and the rest on google all name these hadiths as proving that you shouldnt sleep after asr.. I think more research is in order.. but from the 2 sites I listed I feel these are good sites so from now on… if i need to sleep after asr, i will. Insha’allah.
Insha’allah this helps someone out there, please let me know if you found anymore information. JAzakAllah khair.
