The recommended sleeping position for a woman in Islam, as it is for men, is to begin sleeping on the right side.
Sunnah Sleeping Position
- Right Side: It is considered Sunnah (a practice of the Prophet Muhammad) to start sleeping on the right side. This practice is not exclusive to women; it is recommended for all Muslims.
Explanation
The Islamic teachings emphasize the importance of following the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad in all aspects of life, including sleeping. Sleeping on the right side is among the practices encouraged.
Additional Information
While the primary emphasis is on beginning sleep on the right side, it's important to note:
- Other Positions: There is no strict prohibition against sleeping in other positions.
- Comfort: Individual comfort and health needs may influence sleep positions.
Marital Relations
The Quranic verse provided, 'Your wives are a tilth for you, so go to your tilth (have sexual relations with your wives in any manner as long as it is in the front opening and not in the hind', primarily discusses permissible ways of marital intimacy and does not directly relate to recommended sleep positions.
