» The Permanent Committee on a Person Extending his Legs and Feet to the Direction of the Qiblah, and Eating and Sleeping in the Masjid
Question: What is the ruling on one who extends his legs facing the qiblah in the masjid, and is it permissible to eat and sleep in the masjid?
Answer: There is no problem with someone extending his legs or one of his legs towards the direction of the qiblah, in the masjid or anywhere else. Also, there is no problem with eating in the masjid or sleeping in it if someone needs to do that, and he must preserve the cleanliness of the masjid. Also, if he has a nocturnal emission (a wet dream) when he is sleeping in it (the masjid), he must exit quickly when he wakes to take a bath from janaabah.
And through Allaah is the success, and may Allaah's Salaah and Salaam be upon our Prophet, and upon his family and Companions.
