Summary
A person who sleeps during the Friday sermon while sitting with the buttocks firmly on the floor does not break their wudu. If the buttocks lift so that wind could escape from the rear, the wudu is broken and he must renew it before the Friday prayer. Sleeping on the back also breaks wudu even with the buttocks pressed to the floor, according to the stronger opinion (al-Mazhab). If unsure whether the wudu has been broken, it is advisable to perform wudu again as a precaution.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
seseorang yang tidur ketika mendengar khutbah Jumaat dalam keadaan duduk yang tetap papan punggungnya maka wuduknya tidak batal.
