Is it permissible to sleep with the ablution for the 'Isha prayer, or must one renew it before sleeping?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Ablution before sleep is recommended, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "When you go to your bed, perform ablution as you would for prayer." The purpose is to sleep in a state of purity, for fear of death, for truthful dreams, and to ward off Satan.
