Summary
A person in a state of janabah is permitted to delay the obligatory bath until after waking from sleep. It is recommended that he perform ablution like the prayer ablution before sleeping. Sleeping in janabah without first performing ablution is disliked (makruh). The Shafi'i jurists understand the command to perform ablution in the hadiths as recommended, not obligatory.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Namun, disunatkan untuk seseorang yang berjunub untuk mengambil wuduk seperti wuduk solat sebelum dia tidur. Sekiranya dia tidur dalam keadaan berjunub tanpa berwuduk terlebih dahulu maka hukumnya adalah makruh.
