Summary
Qailulah is a short rest at midday, even without sleeping, and it is a recommended act agreed upon by the majority of scholars. Jurists differ on its timing, whether before or after the sun passes its zenith. This ruling leans towards the view that it is before the zenith, that is before the Zuhr time begins. Workers are advised to rest only within the time allotted and not to overdo it, as they are bound by their work trust.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, kami lebih cenderung kepada pandangan bahawa qailulah adalah berehat atau tidur sebentar sebelum gelincir matahari iaitu sebelum masuknya waktu zohor.
