THE PROPHET’S WUDOO’ (ABLUTION)
➖➖➖
Those Things Which Break Wudoo’: Sound Sleep

‘Alee ibn Abi Taalib (رضي الله عنه) said: Rasoolullah (ﷺ) said: “The eye is the drawstring for the anus, so he who sleeps then let him make Wudoo’.”
[Abu Dawood (no.203), Ibn Maajah (no.477), Ahmad. Declared as Saheeh by al-Albaanee].
In the hadeeth is an evidence that sleep does not in itself something that breaks Wudoo’ , however the Purification is broken if it is possible for something to come out from the anus – however if that is restricted, e.g. by sitting flat on the earth, then that is not the case.
