Sleeping and Sajdah

· 23 Dhuʻl-Hijjah 1422 AH1 min readFatwa 5036English

Question

Is it wrong for a woman to sleep nude, if she lives only with her husband, and is completely covered with sheets the entire night? Also, what is the correct way for a woman to do Sajdah? where should the legs be (to the side or under her) and should the toes be facing the direction of the qibla? Jazak Allah Khair

Answer

1. Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said that, 'Verily Hayaa (modesty) is part of Imaan.' In principle, if a person sleeps naked covered with a sheet, it is permissible. However, some types of inner garments should be worn. 2. Kindly refer below - Salaat of a woman.
