Summary
Sleeping after the prayer time has begun and before praying is disliked (makruh) if one is confident of waking up before the time ends. If one is not confident of waking in time, sleeping is forbidden until the prayer is performed. A short sleep is permitted when one is very tired and sleepy, provided one makes an effort to wake up, such as setting an alarm or asking others to wake them. The fatwa stresses that it is preferable to perform the prayer first.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Makruh untuk tidur selepas masuknya waktu solat sebelum menunaikan solat tersebut jika dia yakin mampu untuk bangun sebelum habisnya waktu solat tersebut.
