sleeping during ramadan

[Naboleon]

will your fasting count if you sleep through almost all of it? i'm noticing a lot of people doing that. they fast for a few hours then sleep till afur time and pig out on sambus. kinda defeats the purpose of fasting if you ask me.

You have to pray too... Otherwise your fast will be invalid.

thats too funny. but how can you sleep through the whole day. they don't read no quran no nothing just sleep the whole day and wake up when it's time to eat.

My most unproductive Ramadan was when I was unemployed and no UNI. I pretty much playe on the ps2 and slept. This Ramadan hasN'T started too well since I keep getting headaches. If i get one tomorrow, I guess I need to see Dakhtar.

I usually can't get enough sleep during Ramadan

During the winter, people used to sleep especially when Ramadan was during the holidays

[Samatar10]

If a person stays up all night during Ramadaan, then he prays Fajr and sleeps until Zuhr, and prays and then sleeps until ‘Asr, and prays then sleeps until the time of iftaar, is his fasting valid?.

The scholars are agreed that if a fasting person wakes up during the day, even if it is for a single moment, then his fasting is valid, but if he does not wake up and he sleeps all day whilst fasting, then the majority of scholars say that his fasting is still valid, because sleep does not invalidate fasting, as it does not mean that he is completely unconscious, rather if someone wakes him he will wake up.

If the matter is as mentioned, then the fast is valid but for a fasting person to spend most of the day asleep is a kind of negligence on his part, especially since the month of Ramadaan is a special time and the Muslim should strive to benefit from it by reading Qur’aan a great deal, seeking provision and acquiring knowledge.
