What is the ruling on two men sleeping in one bed? May Allah reward you.
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A man and a man sleeping naked in the same bed is not permissible, due to the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibition: "A man should not lie with another man under one garment." This is a prohibitive injunction (tahreem) if there is no barrier between them, and it contains proof of the impermissibility of touching the awrah (private parts) of another. However, if there is a barrier and the risk of fitna (temptation/strife) is absent, then it is disliked (makrooh) rather than forbidden.
