Is sleeping on one's stomach considered Makruh (disliked or discouraged) or not recommended, and is it Haram (forbidden) for someone who cannot sleep except in this position?
The prohibition of sleeping on one's stomach is understood as a matter of disfavor (karahah), not outright prohibition (tahrim). Therefore, whoever sleeps on their stomach due to an inability to sleep in any other position incurs no sin.
