Question

Is there anything wrong with sleeping between Asr and Maghrib Salaah?

Answer

It is recorded in a narration of Aisha Radiallahu Anha that Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam is reported to have said, “Whoever sleeps after Asr and his intelligence is snatched away, then he should only blame himself.” Based on this narration one should refrain from sleeping after Asr Salaah as there is a fear of losing one’s sanity.
