Praise be to God, and may blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of God, his family, and his companions. As for what follows:
The sleeper should take the means that will help him get up to pray, such as setting an alarm clock or the like, or appointing someone to wake him up for prayer, as the Prophet – may God bless him and grant him peace – did when he commanded Bilal To watch the night for them, and there is no disagreement about the legitimacy of adopting the reasons for waking up for prayer, even if there is disagreement regarding the obligation of that.
Many scholars have stated that it is not obligatory; Because prayer is not obligatory, except when the time begins, it is not addressed to it before the time begins, and what is not obligatory except by it is not obligatory, just as it is not necessary to collect the quorum of zakat, nor to obtain the ability to perform Hajj. It is permissible for you to sleep before the time for prayer begins, even if you are certain that you will not wake up at the time, and you do not have to set an alarm clock or anything else, but it is recommended for you to do so.
The details of this: The obligated person is not told to pray before the time for prayer begins, and the majority of scholars from various schools of thought have stated that it is permissible to sleep before the time for prayer begins, even if there is a strong suspicion – or even knowledge – of not waking up at the time. They did not stipulate that it is permissible for a man to sleep before the time begins for him to appoint someone to wake him up – and setting an alarm clock is similar to authorization, as their words are a means of waking up.
It was mentioned in a footnote Ibn Abidin From the Hanafi books: [فرع] It is not necessary to pay attention to the sleeper at the beginning of the time, and it is necessary if time is running short. Al-Biri quoted it in Sharh Al-Ashbah from Al-Bada’i’ from the books of Usul, and said: We did not see it in the books of Al-Furoo’, so take advantage of it. I said: But there is consideration in it; Because of their statement that it is not obligatory for the sleeping person to perform the prayer, so how is it obligatory for him to pay attention? Muslim narrated in the story of the groom on the authority of Abu Qatada that he – may God bless him and grant him peace – said: There is no negligence in sleeping, but rather negligence is delaying one prayer, until the time for the next prayer begins. We will mention in oaths that if he swore that he would not delay a prayer beyond its time, and he slept and made it up, it was said that he would not break his oath, and Al-Baqani cited it as evidence, but in Al-Bazaziyah the correct view is that if he slept before the time began and woke up after it, he would not break his oath, and if he slept after it began, he would break his oath. This necessitates that by sleeping before the time, he will not be late, and therefore he is not sinning, and if he is not sinning, he does not have to pay attention to it, because if he had to, he would be late for it, and a sinner, unlike if he slept after the time had begun, and what is in the beri can be attributed to him.. I finish.
And in a footnote Infection on Kharshi It is one of the Maliki books: Al-Ajhouri said: It is permissible for a person to sleep at night, even if it is permissible, that is, he believes or suspects that his sleep will remain until the time for the morning prayer comes. He does not leave out a permissible matter for something that is not obligatory for him, as Al-Baji narrated it from his companions. As for sleeping after the time has begun, if he knows or thinks that he will remain until the time ends, then it is not permissible. That is: unless he appoints someone he trusts to wake him up. This means that if he is in doubt about going out, it is permissible for him to do so. I finish.
You see in his words a restriction on the permissibility of sleeping with a proxy. It only applies to sleeping after the time has begun, with the predominant suspicion that it is after waking up, and it can be understood from it that sleeping before the time has begun does not require a proxy.
And he said The elm In the small explanation: It is not forbidden to sleep before the time, even if it is known that it will take a while, unlike it after the time has begun, if it is thought that it will take some time to do so until it is optional. .I finish.
And he said Ibn Hajar In Tuhfat al-Muhtaj – a Shafi’i book: What is permissible for sleep is if it overpowers him to the point where he no longer recognizes it and is unable to push it away, or he thinks it most likely that he will wake up, and there is enough time left for her, and he purifies her, otherwise it is forbidden, even before the time begins, according to what many have said.. I finish.
It was stated in a footnote Sherwani On the masterpiece: (His saying: Even before the time begins) Al-Nihayah and Al-Mughni disagreed with him, saying: If he falls asleep before the time begins, he is not in ihram, even if he thinks it most likely that he will not be awake during it. Because he was not addressed by it. Oh.
As for the Hanbalis: Sheikh al-Islam said: Ebn Taimia In the explanation of Umdat al-Fiqh: If he falls asleep before dinner, and does not assign someone to wake him up, he dislikes that; Because he is afraid that sleep will continue, which will lead to missing the time, or missing the congregation, and if he appoints someone to wake him up, he will not dislike it. Oh.
His words are clear that it is not forbidden to sleep before the time for prayer begins, even without appointing anyone to wake him up. It remains to be noted that some contemporaries obligated the sleeper before prayer to set the alarm clock, or to appoint someone to wake him up, as previously stated in the fatwa: 119406.
Based on the above – and in view of your condition that you mentioned – what we are directing you to is to try not to sleep, except at a time that will not bother you during the time of prayer. If you need to sleep at other times, then there is no blame on you for sleeping before the time for prayer begins, and it is not necessary. Taking into account the reasons, especially since your condition is what you mentioned.
God knows.
