Question
What is the ruling of sleeping on the stomach?
Answer
The Sunnah is to sleep on the right side, and to regularly say certain remembrances for sleeping. Facing the direction of the prayer is better, and a Muslim should keep up with these remembrances, of which there are many, that have been legislated and not neglect them. Ibn Al-Qayyim said that there are around 40. As for sleeping on the stomach, there is a narration which suggests it is prohibited which at the least makes it something disliked, and Allaah knows best.
