*   Do not sleep after ‘Asr, as there is a fear of losing the intellect. The noble Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, “Whoever sleeps after ‘Asr and loses his intellect should blame only himself.”^[1]

*   It is mustahab (preferable) to nap for a while in the afternoon.^[2] ‘Allamah Maulana Mufti Muhammad Amjad ‘Ali A’zami رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه says, “This is probably for those who remain awake at night offering salah, doing dhikr of Allah or reading and studying religious books, so that the tiredness caused by staying awake at night can be removed by the midday nap.” ^[3]

*   It is makruh to sleep in the early part of the day or to sleep between Maghrib and Isha.^[4]
