Sleeping between Asr and Maghrib

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.

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: مَنْ نَامَ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ فَاخْتُلِسَ عَقْلُهُ فَلَا يَلُومَنَّ إِلَّا نَفْسَهُ (مسند ابي يعلي الموصلي)

ALLAH TA’ALA KNOWS BEST!
